Editing Quraysh (section)

===Origins===
The Quraysh's [[progenitor]] was [[Fihr ibn Malik]], whose full genealogy, according to traditional Arab sources, was the following: Fihr ibn Malik ibn al-Nadr ibn Kinana ibn Khuzayma ibn Mudrika ibn Ilyas ibn Mudar ibn Nizar ibn Ma'add ibn Adnan.{{Sfn|Watt|1986|p=434}} Thus, Fihr belonged to the [[Kinanah|Kinana]] tribe and his descent is traced to [[Adnan]] the [[Ishmaelites|Ishmaelite]], the semi-legendary father of the "[[Adnanites|northern Arabs]]". According to the traditional sources, Fihr led the warriors of Kinana and [[Khuzayma]] in defense of the Kaaba, at the time a major pagan sanctuary in Mecca, against tribes from [[Yemen]]; however, the sanctuary and the privileges associated with it continued to be in the hands of the Yemeni [[Banu Khuza'a|Khuza'a]] tribe. The Quraysh gained their name when [[Qusayy ibn Kilab]], a sixth-generation descendant of Fihr ibn Malik, gathered together his kinsmen and took control of the Kaaba. Prior to this, Fihr's offspring lived in scattered, nomadic groups among their Kinana relatives.{{Sfn|Watt|1986|p=434}}
