Ātikah bint Murrah ibn Hilāl ibn Fālij ibn Dhakwān of
Islamic prophet Muhammad
.
Atika's sons
'Amr (more commonly known as Hashim) and 'Abd Shams were conjoined twins. Their birth was remembered for 'Amr being born with one of his toes pressed into 'Abd Shams’s forehead. It was said that they had struggled in the womb seeking to be firstborn. Legend says that their father, Abd Manaf ibn Qusai, separated his conjoined sons with a sword and that some priests believed that the blood that had flown between them signified wars between their progeny (confrontations did occur between Banu al'Abbas and Banu Ummaya ibn 'Abd Shams in the year 750 AH).[1][2]
