Halah bint Wahb
Halah bint Wahib ibn Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah (Arabic: هالة بنت وهيب بن زهرة) was one of 'Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim's wives and the mother of Hamza and Safiyyah. She married 'Abd al-Muttalib the same day as her first cousin Aminah bint Wahb ibn ‘Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah, the mother of Islamic prophet Muhammad married Abd Allah ibn Abd al Muttalib.[1]
Thus Hamza was related to Muhammad in several ways. He was a first cousin once removed (on his mother's side) an uncle (on his father's side) and milk brother by breast feeding from Thuwaybah, the freed slave girl of Abu Lahab,[citation needed] Hamza and Muhammad were also related in another way; they were brother-in-laws. Salma, wife of Hamza was a sister of Maymunah, a wife of Muhammad. Their third sister Umm Fadhal was married to ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, another uncle of Muhammad.
