Umm Salama bint Hasan al-Mujtaba

Umm Salama belonged to the household of Imam Hasan ibn Ali al-Mujtaba, peace be upon him. Al-Mufid includes her among Imam Hasan's daughters, together with several sisters whose mothers are described collectively as different women. The available list does not identify Umm Salama's mother by name, so her maternal lineage should remain unassigned rather than inferred.

The surviving sources preserve her through her kunya, Umm Salama, and do not supply a separate personal name. Because this kunya was used by several women in early Islamic history, her identity must be stated with the full lineage Umm Salama bint al-Hasan ibn Ali. This distinguishes her from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, and from later Hasanid and Husaynid women bearing the same kunya.

Mus'ab al-Zubayri's Nasab Quraysh and Ibn Habib's Al-Muhabbar both identify Umm Salama bint Hasan as the wife of Amr ibn al-Mundhir ibn al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam. Jamharat Ansab al-Arab also confirms that Amr married a daughter of Imam Hasan, although it does not name the daughter. A later genealogical tradition in Al-Majdi, however, assigns the same husband to Ruqayya bint Hasan. The marriage of Umm Salama and Amr is therefore probable on strong early evidence, but the later genealogical conflict prevents presenting it as wholly undisputed.

Nasab Quraysh adds that no child is recorded for Umm Salama from this marriage. Beyond lineage and marriage, the consulted early sources do not securely document public activity, participation in Karbala, a precise residence, date of death, funeral or burial. Her biography should therefore remain limited and evidence-based, without expanding silence in the sources into devotional or political claims.
