Banū Makhzūm
Descendants of Makhzūm ibn Yaqaẓa ibn Murra, brother of Kilāb. One of the wealthiest and most aristocratic Quraysh clans pre-Islam. The clan of Abū Jahl ibn Hishām (one of the chief opponents of the Prophet ﷺ, killed at Badr) and Khālid ibn al-Walīd (the Sword of God, sayf Allāh al-maslūl). Also the clan of the Prophet's wife Umm Salama.
Wife of ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib and paternal grandmother of the Prophet ﷺ. From Banū Makhzūm of Quraysh. Mother of Abdullāh (the Prophet's father), Abū Ṭālib (father of ʿAlī), al-Zubayr ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, and ʿĀtika, Barra, and Umayma — three of the Prophet's ﷺ paternal aunts.
Sixth wife of the Prophet ﷺ. From Banū Makhzūm of Quraysh. Widow of Abū Salama ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Asad (martyr of Uḥud). Married the Prophet ﷺ in Shawwāl 4 AH / 626 CE. Highly intelligent and respected — at Ḥudaybiyya, when the companions were reluctant to perform their sacrifice and shave their heads, the Prophet ﷺ took her advice and they immediately followed. A major hadith narrator (~378 reports). Last of the Prophet's wives to die.
The greatest military commander of early Islam. Initially fought against the Muslims at Uḥud (where his cavalry charge turned the tide) and the Trench. Accepted Islam in 8 AH (629 CE) before the Conquest of Mecca. The Prophet ﷺ named him Sayf Allāh al-Maslūl ("the Drawn Sword of God") after his survival of Muʾta where he broke 9 swords. Led the Muslim forces in the Ridda Wars — defeating Musaylima and Ṭulayḥa — and then conquered Iraq and the Levant, including the decisive Battle of Yarmūk (15 AH / 636 CE). Reportedly never lost a battle. Buried in Ḥimṣ.
Mujahid ibn Jabr was a prominent early Islamic scholar and mufassir from the Tabi'in generation, known for his Qur'anic exegesis and hadith narration.
Chief of Banū Makhzūm in pre-Islamic Mecca. One of the major opponents of the Prophet ﷺ. Said to be the subject of Sūrat al-Muddaththir (74:11-26) — "Leave Me with him whom I created alone..." — for plotting against the Qurʾān. Father of Khālid ibn al-Walīd (Sword of God) and of ʿAmmāra. Died as a polytheist before the Hijra.
