Lubna bint Hajar

Lubna bint Hajar was a wife of Abdul-Muttalib and the mother of Abū Lahab.

Her father, Hajar ibn Abdmanaf ibn Datir[1] ibn Hubashiya ibn Salul ibn Kaab ibn 'Amr, was from the Khuza'a tribe.[2] Her mother, Hind bint 'Amr ibn Kaab ibn Saad ibn Taym ibn Murra, was from the Taym clan of the Quraysh, hence a relative of Abu Bakr. Hind's mother was Sawda bint Zuhra ibn Kilab,[2] making Hind a first cousin of Amina bint Wahb and Lubna a second cousin of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

By her marriage to Abdul-Muttalib, Lubna had one son, Abdul-Uzza, known as Abu Lahab ("father of flame") "because of his beauty and charm".[2]

According to later Muslim historians, Lubna was known as al-Samajij, which could mean "ill-favoured" (ugly) or even "without any good quality".[3]
