Halah bint Wuhayb

Al-Waqidi reported that Halah married Abd al-Muttalib the same day as her cousin Aminah bint Wahb ibn Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah, the mother of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, married Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib. However the veracity of this claim is highly dubious as it was never reported in any other contemporary biographies of Muhammad by other early muslims historians.[1]

She was the mother of Hamza, Safiyya, al-Muqawwim and Ḥajl. Thus Hamza was related to Muhammad in several ways. He was a second cousin (on his mother's side); an uncle (on his father's side); and foster-brother by Thuwaybah, the freed slave girl of Abu Lahab. Hamza and Muhammad were also brothers-in-law, as Hamza's wife Salma bint Umays was a half-sister of Maymuna, a wife of Muhammad. Another sister, Umm Fadl, was married to Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, another uncle of Muhammad.

Halah's brothers include Malik (father of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas) and Nawfal.
