Banu Makhzum

A paternal aunt of Prophet Muhammad and full sister of his father Abdullah. The sira names her among the daughters who elegised Abd al-Muttalib, as mother of Zuhayr ibn Abi Umayya, whose kinship to Banu Hashim helped break the Meccan boycott, and as the woman whose vision preceded Badr.

Sumayyah bint Khayyat was an early convert in Mecca and the mother of the companion Ammar ibn Yasir. Killed under torture by Abu Jahl for refusing to renounce Islam, she is remembered as the first person to die for the faith.
