Al-Hakam Ben Abi Al-Have

Al-Hakam Ben Abî Al `Âs Ben Umayya or Al-Hakam Ben Wa `it (Arab: rear RTL الحكمبنأبيالعاصىبنامية). His/her father was called Abû Al `Âs Wa `it from where the two names under which one can find it.

He was a small son of the éponyme of the dynasty omeyyade.
He was the father of the fourth Caliph omeyyade of Damas and eighth caliph Marwân I {{er}}.
He was a first cousin of ''' Abû Sufyân ''' ibn Harb father of the first caliph omeyyade Mu `âwîya I {{er}}.
It was one of the uncle of the third caliph `Uthman.

Al-Hakam is sometimes regarded by the Sunnite S as one of the companions of Mahomet.

Al-Hakam and his/her son Marwân went to reside at Tâ' yew in the south of Mecque. Mahomet would have driven out them Médine (or of Mecque?), exiling them with Tâ' yew.

During its caliphate, `Uthman cousin of Al-Hakam required of him to come with Mecque with his/her son. A dispute between Shiite and Sunnites on this subject, is of knowing:

if there were judgment with the exile
if this judgment were final or temporary
if `Uthman transgressed or not the wills of the Prophet.

It is sure that Marwân benefitted from the support of `Uthman to become governor of Médine (or to become its vizier).
