So while various medieval Arabic sources claim that Khabbab ibn al-Aratt's father belonged to the Banu Zuhra or the Banu Tamim, these scholars actually think it more likely that he was a 'Nabataean' (Nabaṭ). It seems that only the tradition which claims him for the Banu Tamim identifies his father as being named al-Aratt ibn Jandala? In any case, given the uncertainty about his background it's not appropriate to mention his father's name in the infobox as if there were a clear and undoubted pedigree.

I have added a summary explanation of these things to the article here.

IAmAtHome, if you would like to add something to this based on another source (e.g. Kandemir 1996 as cited here), could you please also put up a relevant quote from such a source here on the talk page? Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 14:35, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
