Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I and Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and submitted: You have given (the share of near relatives) to Banu Muttalib, while we (Banu Umayyah) and Banu Muttalib have the same relationship with you. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “That is true, but Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib have always been together as one.”
