Hazrat Amina bint Wahb (RA) belonged to the Banu Zuhra clan of the Quraysh tribe. Her father, Wahb ibn Abd Manaf, was the chief of Banu Zuhra. This makes the Prophet's (SAW) maternal lineage trace back to Banu Zuhra, while his paternal lineage through Hazrat Abdullah (RA) belongs to Banu Hashim. Understanding the tribal affiliations helps in grasping the family background and the noble lineage of the Prophet (SAW) from both sides.
Hazrat Amina (RA) was the daughter of Wahb ibn Abd Manaf, the chief of Banu Zuhra, and Barrah bint Abdul Uzza of Banu Abd ad-Dar. She married Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA) of Banu Hashim. The Prophet (SAW) was born an orphan as his father had passed away before his birth, and Hazrat Amina (RA) herself passed away when the Prophet (SAW) was only six years old at a place called Abwa, while returning from a visit to Madina.
