Chief Leader of the Quraysh and grandfather of Muhammad (c.496–578)
Shayba ibn Hāshim (Arabic: شيبة بن هاشم; c. 496-578), better known as Abd al-Muttalib, (Arabic: عبد المطلب, lit. 'Servant of Muttalib') was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a prominent leader of the Quraysh. He was the son of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf (the ancestor of the Banu Hashim clan), and the father of Abdullah (the father of Muhammad), Abu Talib (the father of Ali) and Abbas (ancestor of the Abbasid caliphs). Abd al-Muttalib is traditionally regarded as an important figure in pre-Islamic Mecca, associated with the guardianship of the Kaaba and the rediscovery of the Zamzam well. He died in Mecca several years before Muhammad's migration to Medina.
