History
His father was Abd Manaf ibn Qusai.Al-Muttalib was the younger brother of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf. He succeeded his brother Hashim and took care of his nephew Shaiba ibn Hashim; when he returned to Mecca with his nephew people thought he was his new slave, so Shaiba became known as "Abd al-Muttalib" because slavery was so common and rampant at that time. When al-Muttalib died, his sons and nephew Abd al-Muttalib succeeded him.
He is the progenitor of Banu al-Muttalib through his children: Al-Harith, Ayyilah, Hashim, Makhramah, 'Alqamah, Abu Ruhm and Abbad. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren became companions of their close relative Muhammad, and narrated some of his sayings. Qays ibn Makhramah ibn al-Muttalib in particular is known for having been the master of Yasar, the grandfather of Muhammad Ibn Ishaq, before freeing Yasar with the surname "al-Muttalibi".
