Umm Saʿīd bt. ʿUrwa b. Masʿūd (Arabic: اُمسعید دختر عُروَة بن مسعود) was one of the wives of Imam Ali (a).[1] Her father ('Urwa b. Mas'ud al-Thaqafi) was among the Companions of the Prophet (s) and the chiefs of the Thaqif tribe,[2] who was martyred in the path of propagating Islam.[3]
According to al-Shaykh al-Mufid, Umm Sa'id bore two children for Imam Ali (a) named Umm al-Hasan and Ramla.[4] According to Muntaha l-amal, Umm al-Hasan was the wife of Ja'da b. Hubayra, the son of Umm Hani, the sister of Imam Ali (a), and after Ja'da's death, she married Ja'far b. Aqil[5] and after Ja'far's martyrdom in the Event of Karbala, she became the wife of Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr.[6] Ramla also married Abu l-Hayyaj 'Abd Allah b. Abi Sufyan b. al-Harith b. 'Abd al-Muttalib.[7]
However, Ibn Shahrashub, a Shi'a muhaddith of the 6th/12th century, listed Imam Ali's (a) children from Umm Sa'id as Nafisa, Zaynab al-Sughra, and Ruqayya al-Sughra, and considered Umm al-Hasan and Ramla to be the Imam's daughters from Umm Shu'ayb al-Makhzumiyya.[8] According to the report of the book A'yan al-Shi'a, Umm Sa'id is also known as Umm Sa'd, and Umm Kulthum al-Sughra is her child from Imam Ali (a).[9]
