بی بی فاطمہ بنت حزام (ام البنین) علیہ سلام Bibi Fatima Binte Hazam known as Ummul Baneen (SA) came into this world in the 5th year of Hijri. She was an accomplished and cultured lady known for her glory, honor, piety, and nobility. Later, she would have the honor of being the wife of Imam Ali (AS), and would be called mother by Imam Hasan (AS), Imam Hossain (AS), Bibi Zainab (SA), and Bibi Kulsom (SA). In her marriage with Imam Ali (AS), Bibi Ummul Baneen (SA) bore four sons: Hazrat Abbas (AS), Hazrat Abdullah (AS), Hazrat Imran (AS), Hazrat Jafar (AS). They were brought up under the direct guidance and blessings of Imam Ali (AS). She inspired and educated her own children to act only as slaves to Hossain (AS). Bibi Umul Baneen's love for Imam Hossain (AS) was so intense that when she received the news about the martyrdom of her four children, she said: "Tell me about Hossain (AS)" and when she received the news of Imam Hossain (AS)'s martyrdom she said: "All of the arteries of my heart are torn. May all of my children and whatever that exist under this azure heaven be sacrificed for the sake of Imam Hossain (AS)". Ummul Banin (SA) gathered together a number of women of Madina in her house and all cried for the martyrdom of Imam Hossain (AS). This was the first ever Majlis conducted after the martyrdom of Imam Hossain (AS). A gifted poetess, she is considered as the first noha (lamentation poetry) reciter for the martyrdom of Imam Hossain (AS). The nohas recited by Bibi Ummul Baneen for the martyrdom of Imam Hossain (AS) are recorded in history and are considered as masterpieces in Arabic literature. After the Battle of Karbala, Bibi Ummul Baneen (SA) became very weak as she was mourning for relentlessly. The grief was taking its toll and she finally left this world on the 13th Jamadi us-Sani 64 AH. She is buried in Jannat al-Baqi.
