His grandfather, and his brothers, took on the family name of al-Wahaab, after their father, Wahaab Tumah, the governor of Karbala; custodian of the Imam Husayn shrine (1823–1826); custodian of the al-Abbas shrine (1826–1829).[7] His family name is not to be mistaken with the al-Wahaab family that branched from Al Zuhayk.[2][8]
