==Wedding alongside his Father==

At the wedding ceremony, Abd al-Muttalib chose Wuhayb's daughter Halah for himself. When Abd al-Muttalib proposed to Wuhayb, he agreed. And so on the same occasion Abd al-Muttalib and Abdullah married Halah and Amina respectively. Later, Hala gave birth to Hamza, who was Muhammad's both uncle and foster brother.<ref>Ibn Sa'd/Haq p. 102.</ref>

Soon after his marriage, 'Abdullāh was called to [[Syria]] (in what is ''[[Syria (region)|Ash-Shām]]'' or the [[Levant]]) on a trading caravan trip. When he left, Āminah was pregnant{{Citation needed|date=April 2024|reason=Very important claim to find out Muhammad (PBUH)'s birth year. Needs multiple. independent, early, Islamic sources.}}. He spent several months in [[Gaza City|Gaza]], and on his return trip he stopped for a longer rest with the family of his paternal grandmother, [[Salma bint Amr]], who belonged to the [[Banu Najjar|Najjar clan]] of the [[Banu Khazraj|Khazraj tribe]] in [[Medina]]. 'Abdullāh was preparing to join a caravan to Mecca when he fell ill. The caravan went on without him to Mecca with news of his illness. Upon the caravan's arrival in Mecca, 'Abdul-Muttalib immediately sent his eldest son [[Harith ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib|Al-Harith]] to Medina. However by the time al-Harith arrived, 'Abdullāh had died. Al-Harith returned to Mecca to announce 'Abdullāh's death to his aged father and his pregnant wife Āminah{{Citation needed|date=April 2024|reason=It is crucial to prove with strong source that Aminah was pregnant before Abdullah died.}}. According to Ibn Sa'd, Abdullah died three months after his marriage and was twenty-five years old when he died.<ref>Ibn Sa'd/Haq pp. 107-108,94,108.</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Armstrong |first=Karen |title=Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet |publisher=Harper San Francisco |year=1993 |isbn=978-0062508867 |location=[[San Francisco]], the [[United States|U.S.A.]]}}</ref>
