Fatima bint Asad (Arabic: فَاطِمَة بِنْت أَسَد Fāṭima bint ʾAsad c. 555–626 CE) was the wife of Abu Talib and the mother of their son Ali ibn Abi Talib.
Fatima bint Asad and her husband, Abu Talib, acted as the Prophet's adopted parents for fifteen years, after Muhammad had lost his mother when he was six (his father had died before he was born). Years later, Muhammad repaid the love he had received from Fatima bint Asad by adopting Ali, Fatima's youngest child, as his son.
Giving birth to Ali is recorded as a miraculous event in the life of Fatima bint Asad by both Shias and Sunnis.[a] According to some traditions, the Kaaba's wall split open in order for Fatima to go in the house and give birth to her son, Ali.
After Muhammad's wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid, Fatima bint Asad was the second woman who entered the fold of Islam. Ali ibn Abi Talib was given the name of Haydar, meaning lion, by his mother.
