Family
editThe real name of Tabikha was 'Amr ibn Ilyas; he had two other brothers with the birthnames 'Amir and 'Umayr whom were later known by the names Mudrikah and Qam'ah respectively.[1] Tabikha's father was Ilyas ibn Mudar, while his mother was a woman known as Khindif.[2]
The lineage of Tabikha can be traced back to Adnan: Tabikha, son of Ilyas, son of Mudar, son of Nizar, son of Ma'ad, son of Adnan.[3] Hence, Tabikha is an Adnanite Arab and also a descendant of Ishmael, as is the case for all the Adnanites.[4]
