UMM AL-FADL (رضي الله عنها)
The mother of six nomble companions
She is Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith
bin Hazn bin Bujayr,
the wife of al 'Abbas (the uncle of the Prophet).
She is the mother of six of his noble sons:
• Al-Fadl bin al-'Abbas
• 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas
• 'Ubaydullah bin al-'Abbas
• Quthum bin al-'Abbas
• 'Abdur-Rahman bin al-'Abbas
• Ma'bad bin al-'Abbas
Her name is Lubabah.
She is the sister of the Prophet's wife Maymunah, and she is the maternal aunt of Khalid bin al-Walid.
She is likewise the sister of Asma' bint Umays, sharing the same mother with her.
She was from the first and foremost to embrace Islam.
It is said that she was the first woman to accept Islam after Khadijah.
Her son 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas said:
كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأُمِّي، مِنَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ أَنَا مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِ، وَأُمِّي، مِنَ النِّسَاءِ.
My mother and I were among the weak and oppressed, I was from the children, and my mother was from the women.“
This indicates that both of them accepted Islam before al 'Abbas, and they were unable to migrate.
Umm al-Fadl was from the prominent women.
After the conquest of Makkah, al 'Abbas took her to Madinah.
She narrated a number of aḥadith.
Those who narrated from her include her son 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas, Anas bin Malik, Abdullah bin al-Harith, and others.
Her narrations have been collected in the six books of hadith.
Her Mother:
The mother of Umm al-Fadl Lubabah is Hind bint 'Awf al-Harith.
She is known as "the noblest mother-in-law."
This is because the Prophet married her daughter Maymunah,
al 'Abbas married her daughter Lubabah the Elder,
Ja'far bin Abi Talib, Abu Bakr as Siddiq, and 'Ali bin Abi Talib were all married to her daughter Asma'
bint 'Umays,
Hamzah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib married her daughter Salma bint 'Umays.
And al Walid bin al-Mughirah married her daughter Lubabah the Younger.
Her Death:
She died during 'Uthman bin 'Affan's caliphate.
End...
