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]
