Dubaa bint Amir

Dubaa bint Amir al-Qushayriyya of the Banu Qushayr. She became Muslim after marrying Hisham ibn al-Mughira and bearing him her son Salama, and she was among the women who embraced Islam with the Prophet in Mecca. ¹.

Abd Allah ibn Jud'an set hard conditions for her if she wished to marry Hisham ibn al-Mughira. She asked for time to think, then accepted, and her first marriage ended in divorce. ²

She married Hisham ibn al-Mughira and bore him her son Salama. Hisham died before she became Muslim. ¹

The book Women Around the Messenger reports, from elders of her people, that the Prophet came to them while they were at Ukaz and invited them to support him. They refused. A man of the Banu Qushayr called Bajir ibn Faras then struck the Prophet's camel, which reared and threw him. Dubaa hastened to her cousins to rouse them, and each of them seized a man, threw him to the ground, sat on his chest and struck his face. The Prophet prayed for blessing upon them. ¹, ³.

She never left Mecca for another place until the emigration to Yathrib, when she left with her son Salama. ³
