Lubaba bint al-Harith

Lubāba bint al-Ḥārith (died ), was a prominent early Muslim. Two of her sisters, Maymunah bint al-Harith and Zaynab bint Khuzayma became wives of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Family Lubaba was a member of the Banu Hilal clan, a branch of the Banu Amir tribe who were prominent in Mecca. (This tribe was distinct from the Quraysh.) Her father was Al-Harith ibn Hazan ibn Zubayr ibn Al-Hazm ibn Rubiya ibn Abdullah ibn Hilal ibn Amer ibn Saasaa Al-Hilali, and her mother was Hind bint Awf ibn Zuhayr ibn Al-Harith. Lubaba had two brothers and a sister from this marriage, and her father also had three daughters by another wife, while her mother had one son by a former husband. Al-Harith died while Lubaba was still a child, and Hind then married Khuzayma ibn al-Harith al-Hilali. This marriage produced one daughter but was short-lived, and Hind next married Umays ibn Ma'ad al-Khathmi, by whom she had three further children. Lubaba married Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib al-Hashimi, who was an uncle of Prophet Muhammad. The union produced seven children: Al-Fadl, Abdullah, Ubaydullah, Qutham, Ma'bad, AbdurRahman and Umm Habib. Abbas also had five children by his other wives.
