Fatima bintr Hizam al-Kilabiyya, commonly known as Ummul Baneen, married Ali ibn Abi Talib (the first Shia Imam and fourth Sunni Caliph) after he became a widower after the death of his first wife Fatima bint Muhammad (S). She was aliased "Umm Banin", meaning "mother of several sons".

Umm Baneen and Ali had four sons, of which the eldest was Abbas ibn Ali (the commander of Husayn's forces at the Battle of Karbala).
