Halah bint Khuwailid

Halah bint Khuwaylid (Arabic: هالة بنت خويلد) was the sister of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, the first wife of Muhammad and thus the aunt of Muhammad's and Khadijah's daughters. She was the daughter of Khuwaylid ibn Asad and Fatima bint Za'idah. Aisha reported that Halah bint Khuwaylid (Khadijah's sister) sought permission from Allah's Messenger to see him, so he was reminded of Khadijah's manner of asking leave to enter and was overwhelmed with emotions; he then said, "O Allah, it is Halah, daughter of Khuwaylid"
