[[Ishmael]] ([[Hebrew]] '''יִשְׁמָעֵאל''', ''Yišmāʿêl''; [[Arabic]]: '''إسماعيل''', ''Ismā'īl''; "God will hear") (2094 AM–2231 AM, or 1910 BC-1774 BC) was the first, but illegitimate, son of [[Abraham]], credited to [[Sarah]] but actually born to [[Hagar]]. He is the progenitor of many [[Arab]] tribes. [[Islam]]ic tradition holds that he is the direct ancestor of [[Muhammad]] and also that he, not [[Isaac]], was the son that Abraham nearly sacrificed on [[Mount Moriah]].
