Biography[edit]

He was the son of Mut`im ibn `Uday.[1]

Aisha[edit]

In 12 BH (610 CE), Abu Bakr had initially engaged his daughter Aisha to Jubayr ibn Mut'im, but when Jubayr's father Mut`im ibn `Uday was informed that Abu Bakr had adopted Islam and rejected polytheism, Mut`im no longer wished his son to marry Aisha.[3]
He was especially known for his knowledge of genealogy.[1] He was the owner of Wahshy ibn Harb, the slave who killed Hamza ibn 'Abdul Muttalib. He adopted Islam in the period between theHudaibiah Treaty and the Conquest of Mecca.[1]
He had two sons, Nafi' ibn Jubayr[4] and Muhammad ibn Jubayr.[5] He is included in the Isnad of several hadith,[6] among them being the hadith of the two weighty things.[2]

Marriage to Muhammad[edit]

The idea to match Aisha with Muhammad was suggested by Khawlah bint Hakim.[17][18] After this, the previous agreement regarding the marriage of Aisha with Jubayr ibn Mut'im was put aside by common consent. Abu Bakr was uncertain at first "as to the propriety or even legality of marrying his daughter to the Prophet."[19] British historian William Montgomery Watt suggests that Muhammad hoped to strengthen his ties with Abu Bakr;[20] the strengthening of ties commonly served as a basis for marriage in Arabian culture.[21]
