- His statement: "(Ibn Adnan)" with the weight of Fa'lan from Adnan, meaning: Adnan resided. Abu Ja'far ibn Habib narrated in his history, al-Tarikh al-Muhbar, from the hadith of Ibn Abbas, who said: "Adnan, Ma'ad, Rabi'a, Mudar, Huzaymah, and Asad were all on the milla of Ibrahim, so do not mention them except in good." Al-Zubair ibn Bakkar narrated from another source, raised to the Prophet: "Do not curse Mudar or Rabi'a, for they were both Muslims." And there is corroborating evidence for this with Ibn Habib from the heyday of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib.

9793 - "Do not curse Mudar, the grandfather of the Chosen One (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), the Most High": Ibn Duhya said: He was named thus because he would "Mudar" (wet) the hearts with his beauty and elegance, and he was known as Mudar al-Hamra (Mudar the Red). He had insight, skills in tracking, and wise, judicious words; a sample of which had already preceded. Suhayli said: It is something made from milk, called "mudayra," due to its whiteness, and the Arabs often refer to white as red. Therefore, it was said: Mudar al-Hamra. It is also said that his father entrusted him with a red dome, and he was the first to establish the Arab tradition of leading camels (haddā') and he had the finest voice of all people. For he had indeed embraced Islam and was devoted to the religion of Ishmael or the faith of Ibrahim. Ibn Habib said: "He is undoubtedly a descendant of Ishmael," and there is a narration that says, "When people disagree, the truth is with Mudar."
