About

Ramla bint Abī Sufyān, a Mother of the Believers (33:6). She accepted Islam in Makkah and migrated to Abyssinia with her first husband; there he left Islam, and she held to her faith alone. The Negus, acting on the Prophet's ﷺ behalf, contracted her marriage to him before she returned, and she then came to Madīna (Abū Dāwūd). Her father, Abū Sufyān, led the opposition of Quraysh to the Prophet ﷺ until the conquest of Makkah.
