Banu Abd al-Dar

Banū ‘Abd ad-Dār (Arabic: بَـنُـو عَـبْـد الـدَّار‎, "Sons of the Servant of the House" — referring to the Kaaba) is a sub-clan of the Arabian Quraysh tribe.[1][2]

History

Their progenitor is Abd-al-Dar ibn Qusai ibn Kilab.[1] Historically, this tribe carried the banner in war, and Muhammad continued that tradition. In battles between the Makkans and the Muslims, the banner was frequently carried on both sides by a member of this tribe. Known to be the custodian of the Kaaba during the period of Jāhiliyyah (Arabic: جَـاهِـلِـيَّـة‎, 'Ignorance'), and upheld by the Islamic Nabí (Arabic: نَـبِي‎, Prophet) later on.[2]

List
gollark: It's probably true that there's *a* maximum size limit, but it isn't obviously 150.
gollark: Wikipedia says:> A replication of Dunbar's analysis with a larger data set and updated comparative statistical methods has challenged Dunbar's number by revealing that the 95% confidence interval around the estimate of maximum human group size is much too large (4–520 and 2–336, respectively) to specify any cognitive limit.
gollark: Dunbar's number is 150, and also a very approximate approximation someone made up.
