Mudrikah ibn Ilyas

Mudrikah ibn Ilyas (Arabic: مُدْرِكَة ٱبْن إِلْيَاس), was a tribal leader in the era of pre-Islamic Arabia.

[1] Mudrikah, real name Amir, is the son of Ilyas ibn Mudar; with Ilyas being a fourth-generation descendant of the South Arabian patriach Adnan.

[4] Mudrikah married an Arab woman named Salmah whose origins are disputed; some have claimed her from the tribe of the Quda'a while others claimed she was from Rabi'a ibn Nizar.

[5][6] Khuzaymah is remembered as the ancestor who connects the lineage of the Islamic prophet Muhammad to Mudrikah and hence to Adnan.

[6][7] According to a Twelver Shi'ite narration in the book Bihar al-Anwar, Mudrikah and his descendants were monotheists who were saved from falling into polytheism due to being an ancestor of Muhammad.
