Umm al-Banin married Ali ibn Abi Talib after the death of his first wife Fatimah, daughter of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.[5][6] Umm al-Banin and Ali had four sons, of whom the eldest was Abbas ibn Ali, the commander of Husain ibn Ali's forces at the Battle of Karbala. Sayyida Ruqayya bint Ali[7] was her daughter. Shimr ibn Dhi 'l-Jawshan, who later killed Husayn ibn Ali at the battle, had offered Abbas Ibn Ali and his brothers immunity before the battle commenced, however, Abbas Ibn Ali and his brothers rejected it.[8] All of Umm al-Banin's sons were killed later in the battle at Karbala.[9][10]

It is believed that Umm al-Banin died in 69 A.H. (688/689) or 13 Jumada al-Thani 64 A.H. (6 February 684[1]). She was buried in Jannatul Baqi, a cemetery in Medina.[11]
