Why "Abu Quhafa"? edit

Can anyone tell me why he was known as Abu Quhafa, or what that translates to? None of his children was called Quhafa. Pelagic (talk) 18:18, 20 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

I can't tell you, but I'm guessing that Quhafa was one of the sons who died in infancy.Petra MacDonald 05:36, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
