Biography

Fatimah bint Asad was the wife of Abu Talib, who was Muhammad's uncle. Muhammad's parent died before he reached maturity, so he was adopted by Fatimah bit Asad and Abu Talib as their son. After Muhammad became prophet, Fatimah bint Asad was the second womanan, after Khadijah, who entered the fold of Islam.

SO she is described as a "righteous woman". Following Abu Talib's death in 620, Fatimah emigrated to Medina with Fatima bint Muhammad and her son Ali in 622. Muhammad would regularly visit her home and would have his afternoon rest there.

Fatimah bint Asad died in the year 625/626. It is narrated by Anas bin Malik, that when Muhammad learned that Fatimah had died, he went to her house to sit beside her body and prayed her funeral prayers, he then gave his shirt to be incorporated into her shroud, and personally helped placing her in her grave in the Jannatul Baqee cemetery in Medina.

Children

She married her paternal cousin, Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib. Their marriage was notable for being the first between two members of the Banu Hashim. They had seven children:

  1. Talib.
  2. Fakhitah (aka "Hind" & "Umm Hani").
  3. Aqeel.
  4. Jumanah.
  5. Ja'far.
  6. Rayta (aka "Asmā’" & "Umm Ṭālib").
  7. Ali, who was the husband of Muhammad's daughter Fatimah.

The orphaned Muhammad, who was Abu Talib's nephew and Fatimah's cousin, came to live in their house in 579 (when he was eight years old).
