It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that: Attab bin Asid bin Abi al-Is bin Umayyah bin Abd Shams bin Abd Manaf; the mother of Attab bin Asid and of Khalid bin Asid was Zaynab bint Abi Amr bin Umayyah bin Abd Shams. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Attab (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor of Makkah, and when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Attab was his (peace and blessings be upon him) agent (governor) in Makkah. He died in Makkah in Jumada al-Akhirah in the year 13 AH.
