Hālah bint Wuhayb ibn ʿAbd Manāf ibn Zuhrah (Arabic: هالة بنت وهيب بن عبد مناف بن زهرة), was one of Abd al-Muttalib's wives.

Historian Ibn Sa'd wrote in Tabaqat that, Halah married Abd al-Muttalib the same day as her cousin Amina, the mother of Muhammad, married Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib. One day Muhammad's grandfather Abdul Muttalib took his son Abdullah to Wahab to marry him to Amina, daughter of Wahab. At the wedding ceremony, Abd al-Muttalib chose Wuhayb's daughter Halah for himself. When Abd al-Muttalib proposed to Wuhayb, he agreed. And so on the same occasion Abd al-Muttalib and Abdullah married Halah and Amina respectively.^[1]

She was the mother of Hamza, Safiyya, al-Muqawwim and Ḥajl. Thus Hamza was related to Muhammad in several ways. He was a second cousin (on his mother's side); an uncle (on his father's side); and foster-brother by Thuwaybah, the freed slave girl of Abu Lahab. Hamza and Muhammad were also brothers-in-law, as Hamza's wife Salma bint Umays was a half-sister of Maymuna, a wife of Muhammad. Another sister, Umm Fadl, was married to Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, another uncle of Muhammad.

Halah's brothers include Malik (father of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas) and Nawfal.
