Fāṭimah bint Ḥuzam al-Kulābīyah (Arabic: فَاطِمَة ٱبْنَت حُزَام ٱلْكِلَابِيَّة, died (683/684)[1] or 69 A.H.[2] (688/689)[1]), better known as ʾUmm al-BanĪn (Arabic: أُمّ ٱلْبَنِين, meaning "Mother of the Sons"), was a wife of Ali ibn Abi Talib. She was from the tribe of Banu Kilab[3] Kalbasi, Khasaes al-Abbasiah, (1387 S.H.), P. 63 a branch of Qais Ailan tribes.
Umm al-Banin married Ali ibn Abi Talib after the death of his first wife Fatimah, daughter of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.[5][6] Umm al-Banin and Ali had four sons, of whom the eldest was Abbas ibn Ali, the commander of Husain ibn Ali's forces at the Battle of Karbala. Sayyida Ruqayya bint Ali[7] was her daughter. Shimr ibn Dhi 'l-Jawshan, who later killed Husayn ibn Ali at the battle, had offered Abbas Ibn Ali and his brothers immunity before the battle commenced, however, Abbas Ibn Ali and his brothers rejected it since the offer was not including Imam Hussain Ibn Ali.[8] All of Umm al-Banin's sons were killed later in the battle at Karbala.[9][10]
It is believed that Umm al-Banin died in 69 A.H. (688/689) or 13 Jumada al-Thani 64 A.H. (6 February 684[1]). She was buried in Jannatul Baqi, a cemetery in Medina.[11]
