It is narrated from Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him) that the name of Sayyidah Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) is Hind, and her mother is Sayyidah Fatimah bint Asad bin Hashim (may Allah be pleased with her). Imam Abu Abdullah (Ahmad bin Hanbal) (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned the name of Umm Hani' in this way, whereas according to abundantly transmitted, mutawatir reports her name is "Fakhitah".

It is narrated from Sayyidah Fakhitah (may Allah be pleased with her), who is Sayyidah Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib, that she said: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying eight rak'ahs on the day of the Conquest of Makkah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing a single garment, the two ends of which he had thrown crosswise (over his shoulders)." Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib has also narrated from her.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: I heard Sayyidah Umm Hani' Fakhitah bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) say: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), in the year of the Conquest of Makkah, praying eight rak'ahs wrapped in a single garment."

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that it has been mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), before the beginning of revelation, proposed to his uncle Abu Talib for marriage to Umm Hani'. Hubayrah bin Abi Wahb also proposed at the same time, and Abu Talib married her to Hubayrah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O uncle! You married her to Hubayrah and left me?" He replied: O my nephew! I have formed a marriage tie with them, and a noble man repays a noble man in kind. Then she (Umm Hani') accepted Islam, and Islam separated her from Hubayrah. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed to her himself, and she said: By Allah! I used to love (and revere) you even in the days of Jahiliyyah, so what will my state be now in the days of Islam! (That is, now the love is all the greater.)

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed marriage to me, and I excused myself, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted my excuse. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse, from "O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives whose dowries you have paid" up to "and those women who emigrated with you" [Surah al-Ahzab: 50] . Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was not lawful for him (peace and blessings be upon him), because I had not emigrated with him (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, I was one of the "Tulaqa'" (the people set free at the Conquest of Makkah).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) did not pray the Duha (forenoon) prayer until we took him to Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her). I said to her: Tell Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) what you told us. Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came into my house, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed eight rak'ahs of the Duha prayer. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) came out saying: I had read everything between the two covers of the Qur'an, yet only now have I come to recognise the Ishraq prayer, (whereas the Qur'an says): "They glorify (Allah) in the evening and at sunrise (Ishraq)" [Surah Sad: 18] . Then Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: This is the Ishraq prayer. Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) has also narrated another hadith from Umm Hani'.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyidah Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) told him that she said: O Messenger of Allah! My full brother Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) claims that he will kill the man to whom I have granted protection. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whomever you have granted protection, we too have granted protection." The third hadith of Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyidah Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: "Do you have anything to eat?" and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was hungry. I said: I have a few dry pieces of bread, and I feel shy to present them to you (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring them." So I broke those pieces and sprinkled salt on them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there any condiment?" I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have nothing but vinegar. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring that." When I brought it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) poured it on the food and ate it, then praised Allah Almighty and said: "O Umm Hani'! What an excellent condiment vinegar is! A house in which there is vinegar will never be in want." Abdullah bin Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both) has also narrated from Umm Hani'.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her), and a waterskin was hanging there, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) drank water (from it) standing. The children of Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her) have also narrated her hadiths through their forefathers.

Sa'id bin Amr bin Ja'dah bin Hubayrah narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather Sayyiduna Ja'dah bin Hubayrah, who said: I heard my mother Sayyidah Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has favoured Quraysh with seven distinctions that were not given to anyone before them, nor will they be given to anyone after them: prophethood is among them; the custodianship of the Ka'bah (hijabah) is among them; the service of giving water to the pilgrims (siqayah) is among them; Allah helped them against the people of the elephant while they did not worship Allah; they worshipped Allah for ten years when no one besides them worshipped Him; and a surah was revealed about them in which no one else shares with them: 'For the familiarity of Quraysh' [Surah Quraysh: 1] ." Yahya bin Ja'dah bin Hubayrah has also narrated a hadith from his grandmother Umm Hani'.
