Source notes and markers of doubt
- Ibn Ishaq counts "six men" for this Banu Jumah section (p. 8); the tally works out with Hatib, Hattab, Sufyan, Janada, Jabir and Shurahbil, leaving aside Hatib's two sons who came in the two ships with their mother.
- Sufyan's lineage "ibn Ma'mar ibn Habib" meets Hatib's "ibn al-Harith ibn Ma'mar ibn Habib", which would make him Hatib's uncle by the printed genealogy — but the text mentions no kinship between them.
