Barrah bint Abdul Uzza (Arabic: برة بنت عبد العزى‎) ibn Othman ibn Abd ad Dar ibn Qusai ibn Kilab was the maternal grandmother of Muslim prophet Muhammad (mother of his mother Aminah bint Wahb), and wife of Wahb ibn 'Abd Manaf, his maternal grandfather.
Family of Barrah
The mother of Barrah was Um Habib bint Asad ibn Abd-al-Uzza ibn Qusai ibn Kilab and her father was Abdul Uzza ibn Othman ibn Abd-al-Dar ibn Qusai. Therefore, Barrah's mother and father were second cousins. Moreover, Barra was a cousin of Khadija (first wife of the Prophet Muhammad) since her mother, Um Habib, was a sister of Khadija's father, Khuwaylid ibn Asad. Furthermore, the mother of Um Habib was Barrah bint Awf ibn Abid ibn Awij ibn Adiy ibn Ka'ab ibn Lu'ay ibn Ghalib; this was the maternal grandmother of Barrah bint Abdul Uzza.
