Arwā bint ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib (Arabic: أروى بنت عبد المطلب) was an aunt of Muhammad.
She was born in Mecca around 560, the daughter of Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim and Fatima bint Amr, who was from the Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe.
Arwa approved of his support for his cousin Muhammad, saying that if only she were a man, she would take up arms to protect her nephew.
Arwa made the declaration of faith and spoke out in support of Muhammad in Mecca.
Whoever weepeth should weep for thee today ... For Allah's Messenger may my mother and maternal aunt be sacrificed, my paternal uncle, my maternal uncle and even mine own soul ... May Allah's peace be in greeting to thee, and may thou enter the Garden of Aden with joy.
