Biography
About
Born Hind bint Abi Umayya around 580 or 596, she carried the kunya "mother of Salama" and belonged to the Makhzum clan. She married Muhammad and entered the inner circle of early Islam's most consequential figures. Her memory proved sharp: she recounted a large body of hadith that became foundational texts, preserving teaching and precedent for generations who never met the Prophet. She died sometime between 680 and 683, decades after Muhammad, her narrations already woven into the faith's legal and spiritual fabric.
