Banu Zuhra

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Banu Zuhra, a clan of Quraysh by the line 'Zuhra ibn Kilab ibn Murra'; from this clan come the Prophet ﷺ's uncles — his mother Amina bint Wahb — and some of the Abyssinia migrants.

Banu Zuhra, a clan of Quraysh by the line 'Zuhra ibn Kilab ibn Murra' in Ibn Ishaq's lists of the Abyssinia migrants. Of them in the migration were Amir ibn al-Waqqas (may God be pleased with him), Utba ibn Mas'ud and al-Muttalib ibn Azhar, and Abdullah ibn al-Muttalib ibn Azhar (may God be pleased with him) was born in Abyssinia. The clan's chief in descent and honor in Abd al-Muttalib's generation was Wahb ibn Abd Manaf ibn Zuhra ibn Kilab, whose daughter Amina is the Prophet ﷺ's mother — Abd al-Muttalib chose her for his son Abdullah, held the best woman of Quraysh in lineage and standing; and Zuhra ibn Kilab was Qusayy's brother, so from this clan come the Prophet's uncles.
