Marriage of Abdullah and Aminah

Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib married Aminah bint Wahb of Banu Zuhrah. Abdullah was the youngest son of Abd al-Muttalib, chief of Quraysh, and had narrowly escaped being sacrificed by his father to fulfill a vow. Abd al-Muttalib had vowed to sacrifice a son if Allah granted him ten sons, and the lot fell on Abdullah. He was ransomed with one hundred camels after consulting a diviner. Aminah was among the most noble women of Quraysh.
