Biography
She was one of 'Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim's wives and the mother of Hamza ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib. She was a first cousin to Aminah bint Wahb ibn ‘Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah, the mother of Muhammad(saw). Thus Hamza was related to Muhammad(saw) in several ways. He was a second cousin (on his mother's side) an uncle (on his father's side) and milk brother by breast feeding from Thuwaybah, the freed slave of Abu Lahab.
