Fākhitah bint Abī Ṭālib (Arabic: فاختة بنت أبي طالب), also known as Hind and better known by her kunya Umm Hānī, was a cousin and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
She was the eldest daughter of Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Fatima bint Asad,[1]: 35, 109 [2]: 196 hence a sister of Ali and cousin of Muhammad.
Before 595, the young Muhammad asked Abu Talib's permission to marry Fakhitah, but Abu Talib accepted an alternative proposal from Hubayra ibn Abi Wahb, a member of the wealthy Makhzum clan.
"[1]: 109 This cryptic reply might have meant that Abu Talib owed a favour to the Makhzum clan; but the more likely meaning was that Muhammad had no money.
He told her that she was too late, since a new revelation had forbidden him to marry any first cousin who had not emigrated to Medina before the Conquest.
