Biography
Fatima's father was al-Khattab ibn Nufayl, an arbitrator of local disputes in Mecca in the Hejaz (western Arabia). Following the death of his father Nufayl, al-Khattab became the preeminent chief of the Banu Adi clan of the Quraysh. Fatima's mother Hantama bint Hisham hailed from the Banu Makhzum clan and was a sister of Amr ibn Hisham. Fatima's full-brother was the second caliph Umar (r. 634–644), and her half-brother was Zayd ibn al-Khattab, a general of the Rashidun Caliphate. She was the youngest daughter of Khattab ibn Nufayl, who married her off with his nephew, hanif Sa'id ibn Zayd. Fatima along with her husband both converted to Islam together at the same time.[1]
