A fascinating factoid: "The al-Sadr family has a clear and distinct lineage that can be traced directly to the Prophet Muhammad. The lineage is traced through Imam Jafar al-Sadiq and his son Imam Musa al-Kahdim the sixth and seventh Shi‘a Imams respectively. This direct and meticulously documented lineage is unprecedented even among the illustrious families in the Islamic world who claim such lineage. The Sayyid Muslims consider themselves the followers of Prophet Muhammad's bloodline (through his daughter Fatima's lineage), thus a great deal of respect and reverence is paid by the Shi'a's to the Sayyids throughout Shi'a society. en.wikipedia.org
