Lubaba bint al-Harith

This marriage produced one daughter[4] but was short-lived, and Hind next married Umays ibn Ma'ad al-Khathmi, by whom she had three further children.

The union produced seven children: Al-Fadl, Abdullah, Ubayd Allah ibn Abbas, Qutham, Ma'bad, AbdurRahman and Umm Habib.

When the news of the Meccan defeat at the Battle of Badr arrived in Mecca in 624, there was general consternation; but Abbas's Muslim freedman, Abu Rafi, could not contain his joy.

Several able-bodied men witnessed or were in calling distance of this attack, but it was Lubaba who grabbed a tent-pole and cracked it across Abu Lahab's head, asking, “Do you think it’s all right to attack him because Abbas is absent?” Abu Lahab's head was split open, exposing his skull; When he died a week later, it was said to be of an infection, ulcer, or the plague.

[8] The song is almost certainly sarcastic, as the Amir tribe were Ka'b's traditional enemies and, in his perception, the reverse of "honourable" or "trustworthy".

The reference to pedlar's products in the third and fourth lines, and to wobbling flesh in the fifth and sixth, presumably indicates that Lubaba was plump, painted and middle-aged (although she was probably under thirty).
