Amina bint Wahb

[3] Abdullah spent much of Aminah's pregnancy away from home as part of a merchant caravan and died of disease before the birth of his son in Medina.

During this time, Muhammad was nursed by Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb, a poor Bedouin woman from the tribe of Banu Sa'ad, a branch of the Hawāzin.

Upon their return to Mecca a month later, accompanied by her slave, Umm Ayman, Aminah fell ill. She died around the year 577 or 578,[6][7] and was buried in the village of Al-Abwa'.

[10] One transmission by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah states that God refused to forgive Aminah for her kufr (disbelief).

Another transmission in Musnad al-Bazzar states that Muhammad's parents were brought back to life and accepted Islam before returning to the Barzakh.

[11]: 11  Some Ash'ari and Shafi'i scholars argued that neither would be punished in the afterlife as they were Ahl al-fatrah, or "people of the interval" between the prophetic messages of 'Isa (Jesus) and Muhammad.

[12] The concept of Ahl al-fatrah is not universally accepted among Islamic scholars, and there is debate concerning the extent of salvation available for active practitioners of Shirk (Polytheism).
