Qusai ibn Kilab

Qusai ibn Kilab

Qusai ibn Kilab ibn Murrah (Qusayy) ( _ar. قصي بن كلاب بن مُرة) (c. 400–480) was the great-grandfather of Shaiba ibn Hashim (Abdul-Mutallib). He was fifth in the line of descent to Muhammad, and attained supreme power at Mecca. Qusai is amongst the ancestors of Sahaba and the progenitor of the Quraish [http://www.ummah.net/khoei/khadija.htm Wife of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWAS) ] ] .

He was born into the famous Quraysh tribe. When Qusai came of age, a man from the tribe of Khuza'a named Hulail was the trustee of the Kaaba. Qusai married his daughter and, according to Hulail's will, got the trusteeship of the Kaaba after him. He is reputed to have brought great honor and illustriousness to his tribe, due to his wisdom. He reconstructed the Kaaba from a state of decay, and made the Arab people build their houses around it. He is known to have built the first "town hall" in the Arabian Peninsula. Leaders of different clans met in this hall to discuss their social, commercial, cultural and political problems. A provident leader, Qusai created laws so that pilgrims who went to Mecca were supplied with food and water, which was paid for by a tax that he persuaded his people to pay.

Qusai had many sons, some of them are Abd Manaf ibn Qusai, Abd al-Dar ibn Qusai and Abd al-Uzza ibn Qusai [http://www.islamonline.net/Arabic/hajj/2001/rihab/remember/article9.SHTML (Arabic)]
