Hishām ibn ʿUrwah (Arabic: هشام بن عروة, c. 680–763) was a prominent narrator of hadith.
He was born in Medina in the year 61 A.H. (680 C.E.).[2] His father was Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, the son of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam and Asma bint Abu Bakr, and his mother was an unnamed concubine.[3]
He married Fatima bint Mundhir, and their children were al-Zubayr, Urwah and Muhammad.[3]: 294
As a narrator, Hisham is described as "reliable and firm, with a lot of hadith, and he was an authority." He narrated from his father, Urwah; from his wife, Fatima; and from Wahb ibn Kaysan.[3]: 294 Among his pupils was Malik ibn Anas.[1] The young Muhammad ibn Umar al-Waqidi also listened to him;[3]: 294 however, al-Waqidi would have been only 16 years old when Hisham died.[3]: 388
Hisham died in Baghdad[3]: 294 in 146 A.H. (763 C.E.)[2]
Malik ibn Anas objected on those narratives of Hisham Ibn Urwa which were reported through people in Iraq: “I have been told that Malik objected on those narratives of Hisham which were reported through people of Iraq” according to (Tahzi’b u’l-tahzi’b, Ibn Hajar Al-`asqala’ni, Dar Ihya al-turath al-Islami, Vol.11, p. 50).
Furthermore it states that in Mizanu’l-ai`tidal, another book on the life sketches of the narrators of the traditions of the Prophet reports: “When he was old, Hisham’s memory suffered quite badly” according to (Mizanu’l-ai`tidal, Al-Zahbi, Al-Maktabatu’l-athriyyah, Sheikhupura, Pakistan, Vol. 4, p. 301).
