The answer

The paternal uncles of the Prophet (peace be upon him) are: Hamza, Al-Abbas, Abu Talib, Abu Lahab, Al-Zubayr, Abd al-Ka’bah, Al-Muqawwim, Dirar, Qutham, Al-Mughirah, Al-Ghaydaq (Mus’ab or Nawfal). Some have also added Al-Awwam. Among them, Hamza and Al-Abbas embraced Islam.

His paternal aunts are: Safiyah, Atikah, Barrah, Arwa, Umaimah, Umm Hakim Al-Bayda’. Safiyah embraced Islam, and there is disagreement regarding the Islam of Atikah and Arwa.

His maternal uncles: His mother, Aminah, had no brothers except Abd Yaghuth ibn Wahb. However, the Banu Zuhrah consider themselves the maternal uncles of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) because his mother was from them.

His maternal aunts: Fakhitah bint Amr Al-Zuhriyah and Al-Furay’ah bint Wahb Al-Zuhriyah.
