Āmina bt. Wahb (d. forty-six years before Hijra/575-6), the Prophet's (s) mother and one of the most respected ladies of Quraysh. Amina got married to Abd Allah b. Abd al-Muttalib fifty-four or fifty-three years before Hijra (568 to 570). Despite the short period of their marriage, she gave birth to Muhammad (s) fifty-two years before Hijra (570). When Muhammad (s) was four or six, Amina passed away in an area called al-Abwa' while coming back from Medina.
Amina was born in Mecca. Her father, Wahb, was a great member of the Banu Zuhra tribe, and her ancestor, Abd Manaf b. Zuhrah was his cousin's peer, Abd Manaf b. Qusayy.

Asad's daughter, Fatima bt. Murr and Layla al-Adawiyya had proposed to him. According to one account, when Amina got married to Abd Allah, many Meccan women were heartbroken. Their ceremony lasted for three days and nights. During this period, Abd Allah was in the bride's house according to the tribe's tradition.
