'''Fāṭima bt. | '''Fāṭima bt. Ḥizām''' (Arabic: فاطمة بنت حزام) well-known as '''Umm al-Banīn''' (Arabic: أمّ البَنین ) is one of the wives of [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] and is one of the most honorable [[Shi'a]] personalities. She is the mother of [['Abbas]] and three other sons, [['Abd Allah b. 'Ali (a)|'Abd Allah]], [[Ja'far b. 'Ali (a)|Ja'far]] and [['Uthman b.'Ali (a)|'Uthman]] all of whom were martyred on the [[event of 'Ashura]]. Because she had four sons, she was called as Umm al-Banin (mother of the sons). After the [[martyrdom]] of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]], Umm al-Banin mourned the Imam (a) and her children so sorrowfully that even the enemies of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] accompanied her. According to Shi'a point of view, her mourning for Imam al-Husayn (a) before mourning for her children and her respect toward the children of the [[Lady Fatima al-Zahra (a)]] indicate that she had a high level of religious true knowledge. Her tomb in [[Baqi' cemetery|Baqi']] is a [[Ziyara]] site for Shi'a. | ||

She had a great affection and loyalty toward the family of [[the Prophet (s)]] and devoted her life to serve them.
