Abanab (written in Aramaic as ÆQBanAb'H), was the forty-fifth disciple of the Islamic prophet, Muhammed, and has close interaction with Jesus Christ. He lived from 730 - 828 AD. Often regarded to in scripture as "Abanab the Sacred One", he is infamous for having tricked Abraham into killing a man, as a test of devotion to God, when he in fact was required to sacrifice his son.

While in Quranic scriptures, he is described as a metaphor for the blessings of Christ given to people. "A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abanab was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite, a brother[a] of Eshkol and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abanab. 14 When Abanab heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan. 15 During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. (Genesis 14: 13-15)
