Life
Uqba belonged to Medina and was among those who were present in the Pledge of al-Aqaba and promised that they would protect Muhammad at the cost of their lives.[citation needed] He took part in all battles with Muhammad and is said to have fought heroically.[citation needed]
Uqba opposed the Kufan revolt against Uthman (r. 644–656), the third caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate.[1] Uthman's successor Ali (r. 656–661) appointed Uqba as the governor of Kufa. Afterward, Uqba married his daughter Umm Bashir to Ali's son Hasan.[1] The modern historian Wilferd Madelung suggests that Ali was hoping to strength his relations with Uqba.[1] Hasan and Umm Bashir had two (or possibly three) children with Umm Bashir, with their eldest son Zayd, his daughter Umm al-Husayn. It is also held that the couple had another daughter named Umm al-Hasan.[1]
