He was the scion of a family of Jerusalemite notables, who trace their origins to the eponymous grandson of Muhammad.

- "Husseini, with his red hair and blue eyes, appears to have been an exception."  https://www.crisismagazine.com/…/hitlers-mufti-the-dark-leg…

- "Hajj Amin, a striking figure with blue eyes, reddish hair and a trimmered beard, belonged to one of Jerusalem's most illustrious Arab families."  https://books.google.it/books…
