🔴 Uthman, the Third Caliph, Was Not Quraishi and Had No Arab Lineage

✍️ By: Mostafa Amiri

▪️ Abi al-As, the great-grandfather of Caliph Uthman and son of Umayya, is reported to have been of Roman origin, not Arab. Uthman’s ancestors were Roman slaves from Sepphoris, not Arabs:

📜 "The sons of Abi al-As were foreigners from the people of Sepphoris." (Tabari, Tarikh al-Tabari, Vol. 5, p. 157)

▪️ Banu Umayyah had no Arab ancestry, as Imam Ali emphasized in Nahj al-Balagha:
"The pureborn is not like the outsider who attached himself."

▪️ Some historians, due to Uthman’s status, avoided discussing the lineage of Banu Umayyah:
📜 "If there were no other reason to avoid discussing Banu Umayyah’s lineage except for Uthman’s position, that alone would be enough justification." (Suhaili, Al-Rawd al-Unuf, Vol. 3, p. 65)

🔴 Were All the Children of Abu Sufyan of Jewish Descent?

✍️ By: Mostafa Amiri

1️⃣ Abu al-As and Dhakwan (Abu Amr), the two brothers of Abu Sufyan, were explicitly mentioned as being from Sepphoris and of Roman origin.

2️⃣ If one argues that Umayya, Abu Sufyan’s grandfather, had only one wife, then how is it that among Umayya’s four sons, only Harb (Abu Sufyan’s father) remained unquestioned, while historical records state that Abu al-As and Dhakwan were not of Qurayshi descent?

3️⃣ The reason: There was a deliberate effort to present Uthman and Muawiyah as Qurayshi, because according to both Sunni and Shia hadiths, the Prophet’s successors had to be from Quraysh.

4️⃣ More importantly, Umayya (Muawiyah’s ancestor and Abu Sufyan’s grandfather) was not Arab or Qurayshi at all, but Roman—which renders these debates secondary.

🔹 The idea that Banu Umayyah were not Arabs has been discussed since the 4th century AH among Shi’a scholars. It is not a new topic.
