Hishām ibn ʿUrwah (Arabic: هشام بن عروة,) 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]
Many of Hisham Ibn Urwah's narrations are considered as unreliable after moving to Iraq this is according to Yaqub ibn Shaybah and Malik ibn Anas.
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] Among his pupils was Malik ibn Anas.[1] The young Muhammad ibn Umar al-Waqidi also listened to him;[3] however, al-Waqidi would have been only 16 years old when Hisham died.[3]
Hisham died in Baghdad[3] in 146 A.H. (763 C.E.)[2]
