According to The Bible, Abraham had a son by Hagar, called Ishmael, who would be the father of a nation. Judaic tradition is that the sons of Ishmael, called Ishmaelites, are the Arabs.
There is no evidence that the Arabs themselves had believed they were descended from Ishmael until the arrival of Christianity in southern Arabia. By the time of Muhammad (c 570-632 CE), the Arabs had begun to accept that they, or at least some Arabs, really are descended from Ishmael.
Ishmael's mother was Hagar, Abraham's maid-servant.
