Hishām ibn ʿUrwah (Arabic: هشام بن عروة, c. 680–763) was a prominent narrator of hadith.
He was born in Medina in the year 61 A.H. (680 C.E.).[2] His father was Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, the son of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam and Asma bint Abu Bakr, and his mother was an unnamed concubine.[3]
He married Fatima bint Mundhir, and their children were al-Zubayr, Urwah and Muhammad.[3]: 294
As a narrator, Hisham is described as "reliable and firm, with a lot of hadith, and he was an authority." He narrated from his father, Urwah; from his wife, Fatima; and from Wahb ibn Kaysan.[3]: 294 Among his pupils was Malik ibn Anas.[1] The young Muhammad ibn Umar al-Waqidi also listened to him;[3]: 294 however, al-Waqidi would have been only 16 years old when Hisham died.[3]: 388
However, Hisham is described as being unreliable after moving to Iraq by Ya'qub bin Shayba and even Malik Ibn Anas went so far as to refuse any reports from him after moving there. In addition, according to Al-Dhahabi, Hisham's memory declined due to old age.[4]
Hisham died in Baghdad[3]: 294 in 146 A.H. (763 C.E.)[2]
