Abd Manaf al-Mughirah ibn Qusayy (, ÿAbd ManÃÂf al-Mughërah ibn Quá¹£ayy) was a Qurayshi and great-great-grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. His father was Quá¹£ai ibn KilÃÂb.
Abd Manaf's name, meaning slave of Manaf, relates to the pre-Islamic deity Manaf.
Abd Manaf was already honoured in his father's lifetime however Qusai preferred his first-born 'Abd ad-Dar and invested him with all his rights, powers, and transferred the ownership of the House of Assembly shortly before his death.
After Quá¹£ayy's death, Abd Manaf contested this inheritance. He was supported by their nephew Asad, their uncle Zuhrah ibn Kilab, their father's uncle Taym ibn Murrah (of Banu Taym), and al-Harith ibn Fihr, while 'Abd ad-Dar was supported by their cousins Makhzum, Sahm, Jumah, their uncle Adi and their families. The effects of this conflict continued among their descendants, especially under Abd Manaf's son Hashim and affected the internal history of Mecca right up to Muhammad's time.
Abdu Manaf married several wives of influential tribes, including 'ÃÂtikah bint Murrah ibn HilÃÂl ibn FÃÂlij ibn DhakwÃÂn ibn Hilal ibn Sa'sa'ah ibn Mu'awiyah ibn Bakr ibn Hawazin al-Hilaliyya of Bani Qays Aylan, Hilal of the Banu Bakr ibn HawÃÂzin, Raytah of Ta'if, and Waqida bint Amr.
Abd Manaf had three wives:
1. Atikah bint Murrah al-Hulaliyya
2. Rayta bint Ku'ayb al-Thaqafiyya
3. Waqidah bint Amr al-Qurayshiyya al-Amiriyya
The grave of Abd Manaf can be found in Jannatul Mualla cemetery, in Mecca.
