Asma bint Umais (Arabic: أسماء بنت عميس) was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad from the Banu Khathm tribe.
Her father was Umays ibn Ma'ad, and her mother was Hind bint Awf from the Hilal tribe in Mecca. Her full siblings were Salma bint Umays, wife of Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, and Awn ibn Umays. Her maternal half-siblings included two of Muhammad'swives, Zaynab bint Khuzayma and Maymuna bint al-Harith, as well as Lubaba bint al-Harith, the wife of ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, Al-Saayib ibn Al-Harith, Qatn ibn Al-Harith and the community treasurer Mahmiyah ibn Al-Jaz'.
Asma is notable for having been the wife of three of Muhammad's close companions.
Her first husband was Ja'far ibn Abu Talib from the Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe. In 616 she emigrated with him to Abyssinia, where she gave birth to three sons, Abdullah, Muhammad and Awn.
They returned to Medina in 628 at the time of the Muslim conquest of Khaybar.
Ja'far fought at the Battle of Mu'tah against Byzantium in September 629 and, along with Zayd ibn Harithah and `Abd Allah ibn Rawahah, was killed there.[6] Mu'tah is in the south of Jordan and Ja'far's tomb is there.
After Ja'far's death Asma married Abu Bakr. She gave birth to his son Muhammad in 632 while on the way to The Farewell Pilgrimage. Abu Bakr planned to send Asma and their child back to Medina, but Muhammad told him to let her make the major ablution and then rededicate herself in offering the pilgrimage.
Asma was present at the house of Ali when Fatima bint Muhammad died in December 632.
The dying Abu Bakr left instructions that Asma should wash his corpse and that she should not fast on that day. She only remembered this instruction towards sunset, when she called for water to drink so that she would not have technically disobeyed him. As it was a very cold day, it was agreed that she did not have to perform an ablution after washing the body.
When Abu Bakr died, Umar allotted Asma a pension of 1000 dirhams.[9] Soon afterwards, however, she married Ali, who brought up Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr as his own son. Asma bore Yahya and Muhammad al-Asghar ("the Younger") to Ali.
She was regarded as a scholar of Islam.
According to a report deemed authentic, she is considered one of the women of Paradise.
