Halah bint Wahab

Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAL : Halah bint Wahab

Halah binte Wuhayb ibn ‘Abdu Manaaf ibn Zuhrah was one of Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim's wifes and the mother of Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib. She was a first cousin to Aminah binte Wahb ‘Abdu Manaaf ibn Zuhrah, the mother of Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Thus Hamza was related to the prophet in several ways. He was a second cousin (on his mother's side) an uncle (on his father's side) and milk brother by breast feeding from Thuwaybah, the freed slave of Abi Lahab [link].
