10-60 Ahmad ibn Zyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamedany - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, on the authority of Aban ibn Uthman al-Ahmar that he had heard Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB) narrate on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari,

“The Prophet (MGB) was asked about the number of the sons of Abdul Mutalib34 . He (MGB) replied, ‘There were ten of them and Abbas.’” The compiler of the book - may God be pleased with him - said, “They were Abdullah; Abu Talib; Az-Zubayr; Hamzih; Harith who was the eldest; Qaydaq; Muqum; Hijl; Abd al-Aza who is the same as Abu Lahab36 ; Zarrar and Abbas. Some people say that Muqum is the same as Hijl. Abdul Mutalib had ten names by which the Arabs, the Roman Emperors and the Persian and Ethiopian Kings knew him. These names were: Amir; Shaiba-ulhamd; Sayyid Batha; Saqi Hujjaj; Saqi Muqays; Qays ul-vara fil-am ul-Judab; Abul Sadat ulashrat; Abdul Mutalib, Hafir Zamzam. Nobody had any of these names before him.”
