Umaymah bint ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib (Arabic: أميمة بنت عبد المطلب) was a paternal aunt of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

Biography

[edit]

She was born in Mecca, the daughter of Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim and Fatima bint Amr al-Makhzumiya.[1]

She married Jahsh ibn Riyab, an immigrant from the Asad ibn Khuzayma tribe,[2][3] and they had six children.

  1. Abd Allah.[4][5][6][7]
  2. Ubayd Allah.[8][9][10]
  3. Zaynab, later a wife of Muhammad.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
  4. Abd, who was always known as an adult by his kunya, Abu Ahmad.[17][12][18][19]
  5. Habiba, also known as Umm Habib.[20][21]
  6. Hamna.[22][23][24]

It is not recorded that Umayma ever became a Muslim, and she did not accompany her children on their Hijra to Medina in 622 CE.[25] She was still alive in 628, when Muhammad assigned her an annual pension of 40 wasqs of dates from Khaybar.[26]
