Lubnā bint Hājar (Arabic: لُبنى بنت هاجَر) was a wife of Abd al-Muttalib and the mother of Abū Lahab.
Her father, Hajar ibn Abd Manaf ibn Datir[1] ibn Hubashiya ibn Salul ibn Ka'b ibn 'Amr, was from the Khuza'a tribe.[2] Her mother, Hind bint 'Amr ibn Ka'b ibn Sa'd ibn Taym ibn Murra, was from the Taym clan of the Quraysh, hence Lubna was a first cousin of Abu Bakr. Hind's mother was Sawda bint Zuhra ibn Kilab,[2] making Hind a first cousin of Amina bint Wahb and Lubna a second cousin of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
By her marriage to Abd al-Muttalib, Lubna had one son, Abd al-Uzza, known as Abu Lahab ("flame man") "because of his beauty and charm".[3][2]
According to later Muslim historians, Lubna was known as al-Samajij, which could mean "ill-favoured" (ugly) or even "without any good quality".[4]
