Ibn Hisham (or more correctly Ibn Ishaq), in his sira of Muhammd, uses  
the
phrase: axu: bani: + a clan's name, with reference to a certain  
person. For
example: Mikraz b. Hafs is said to be: axu: ban: 'A:mir b. Lu'ayy; Al- 
Jadd
b. Qays is said to be: axu: bani: Salima; Suhayl b. 'Amr is also said  
to be:
axu: bani: 'A:mir b. Lu'ayy. The translators into English and German  
render
these phrases verbatim. I would be thankgul if anyone could explain what
this characterization really means.
Thanks,
Ethan
