Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

ʿAbd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim—the Hāshimite Meccan lady.

She was the sister of ʿAlī and Jaʿfar.

Her personal name was Fākhita; some, however, said it was Hind.

Her conversion to Islam came late.

On the day Mecca was conquered, the Prophet ﷺ entered her house and there performed eight rakʿahs (units of prayer) of the mid-morning (duḥā) prayer (1).

She transmitted hadiths.

Those who related from her include her grandson Jaʿdah; her freedman Abū Ṣāliḥ Bādhām; Kurayb, the freedman of Ibn ʿAbbās; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā; Mujāhid ibn Jabr; ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ; ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr; and others.

She had been married to Hubayrah ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿĀʾidh al-Makhzūmī, who fled to Najrān on the day of the Conquest. She bore him ʿAmr ibn Hubayrah, Jaʿdah, Hāniʾ, and Yūsuf.

She entered Islam on the Day of the Conquest.

Ibn Isḥāq said: When word of her conversion reached Hubayrah, he composed some verses, among them:
