ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (c. 584 644), sometimes referred by Muslims as ʿUmar al-Fārūq ("the one who distinguishes between right and wrong"), was from the Banu Adi clan of the Quraysh tribe. He was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and became the second Caliph (r.634–644) following the death of Abu Bakr, the first Caliph.

Many of Umar's relatives of the same generation were also Sahaba and his daughter Hafsa bint Umar was a Mother of the Believers. His sons were also important Sahaba. Khattab, the father of Umar, married Sahak who was also the wife of Nufayl, the father of khattab hence his own maternal aunt. According to reports attributed to the Sunni genealogist Muhammad ibn as-Sā'ib al-Kalbī, Khattab—the father of ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb—married Sahak, who had previously been the wife of Nufayl, Khattab’s own father. From this union a daughter, Hantamah, was born. These accounts further allege that Khattab subsequently fathered ʿUmar through Hantamah. The report, however, is not widely cited in classical sources.[1]
