Umm Kulthum bint Uqba (Arabic: أم كلثوم بنت عقبة) was the daughter of Uqba ibn Abu Mu'ayt and sister of Walid ibn Uqba.
At the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah (628), Umm Kulthum bint Uqba, daughter of Muhammad's enemy Uqbah bin Abu Mu'ayt, sought asylum with the Muslims when she learned that a revelation (60:10) had said that women seeking the Prophet did not have to be returned to their families and men, unlike the custom for male escapees.
First, she married Zayd ibn Harithah. After Zayd was killed in battle of Mu'ta she married Al-Zubayr who divorced her after a while. Then she married Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf and bore him two sons, Ibraheem and Hameed. After Abd al-Rahman death she married Amr ibn al-'As and died after one month of the marriage.
