Umm Habiba was the daughter of the Quraysh leader Abu Sufyan and one of the earliest converts to Islam who emigrated to Abyssinia. When her first husband Ubaydullah ibn Jahsh apostatised there, she remained firm in her faith as a widow in a foreign land. The Prophet sent a proposal to her from Medina, and the Negus of Abyssinia personally conducted the marriage ceremony on his behalf, marking a historic union bridging faith and diplomacy.
