Qatada ibn al-Nu'man

Qatada ibn al-Nu'man (c.581–c.644) was one of the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a member of the Ansar of Medina.

Biography He was the son of al-Nu'man ibn Zayd, of the Zafar branch of the Nabit clan of the Aws tribe, and of Unaysa bint Qays, who was from the Najjar clan of the Khazraj tribe. His wives were: Hind bint Aws, from the Qawaqil allies; al-Khansa' bint Khunayd, who was from the Ghassan tribe; and A'isha bint Jurayy, also from the Zafar sub-clan. His children by Hind were Abdullah and Umm 'Amr. Both al-Khansa' and A'isha are variously said to be the mother of his other two children, 'Amr and Hafsa.

According to Al-Waqidi, Qatada was present at the second pledge at al-Aqabah; but his name does not appear on Ibn Ishaq's list. Uhud, was a notable narrator of hadith and was a major source for the historian Ibn Ishaq. Qatada had no further male-line descendants after Asim.
