Umm Shareek
companion of Muhammad
Ghuzayyah bint Jabir ibn Hakeem (Arabic: غزية بنت جابر بن حكيم), also known honorifically as Umm Shareek (Arabic: أم شريك, ), was a female disciple (known as the Sahaba) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
Biography
As Islam was revealed in the 620s, the ruling class of Mecca, the Quraysh, used to torture new converts to Islam in order to have them renounce their new faith. Umm Shareek, a woman who converted, was made to stand under the hot sun for three days and was not allowed to drink water.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Umm Shareek” as companion of Muhammad. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as companion of Muhammad. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1113001. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
