Lubna bint Hajar explained

Lubnā bint Hājar was a wife of Abd al-Muttalib and the mother of Abū Lahab.

Her father, Hajar ibn Abd Manaf ibn Datir^[1] ibn Hubashiya ibn Salul ibn Ka'b ibn 'Amr, was from the Khuza'a tribe.^[2] Her mother, Hind bint 'Amr ibn Ka'b ibn Sa'd ibn Taym ibn Murra, was from the Taym clan of the Quraysh, hence Lubna was a first cousin of Abu Bakr. Hind's mother was Sawda bint Zuhra ibn Kilab,^[2] making Hind a first cousin of Amina bint Wahb and Lubna a second cousin of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

By her marriage to Abd al-Muttalib, Lubna had one son, Abd al-Uzza, known as Abu Lahab ("father of the flame") "because of his beauty and charm".^{[3] [2]}

According to later Muslim historians, Lubna was known as al-Samajij, which could mean "ill-favoured" (ugly) or even "without any good quality".^[4]
