His mother, Umm Ishaq, the daughter of
Talha ibn Ubayd Allah, was described as extremely beautiful.
Mu'awiya proposed her marriage to his son, Yazid, when he met her brother,
Ishaq ibn Talha, in Damascus, however Ishaq, returning to Medina, gave her to al-Hasan, which made Mu'awiya to give her up. Hasan asked his younger brother
Husayn, to marry her after his death. She bore
Hasan ibn Ali his son Talha, who later died childless. ==See also==
