Umama (or Umayma) bint Abdul Muttalib was an aunt of Muhammad.

She was born in Mecca, the daughter of Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim and Fatimah bint Amr al-Makhzumiya.

She married Jahsh ibn Riyab, an immigrant from the Asad ibn Khuzayma tribe, and they had six children.

  1. Abdullah.
  2. Ubaydullah.
  3. Zaynab, later a wife of Muhammad.
  4. Abd, who was always known as an adult by his kunya, Abu Ahmad.
  5. Habiba, also known as Umm Habib.
  6. Hamna.

It is not recorded that Umama ever became a Muslim, and she did not accompany her children on their Hijra to Medina in 622. She was still alive in 628, when Muhammad assigned her an annual pension of 40 wasqs of dates from Khaybar.
