The name was initially used to refer to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad's closest kinsmen, Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Ali ibn abu Talib.

Initially, the title was first given to Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.v)'s uncle.[1] After the Battle of the Trench, when Ali defeated Amr ibn Abd al-Wud, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.v) reportedly gave Ali the name Asadullah (Lion of God) and praised him, saying 'Ali's strike on Amr ibn Abd al-Wud is greater than the worship of both mankind and jinn until the Day of Judgement.'[2]
