Asim ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab (Шаблон:Lang-ar; Шаблон:Circa–c. 689) was the son of Jamila bint Thabit and Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second Rashidun caliph.[1] Asim was also a famous hadith scholar.
Biography
Asim was the son of Umar ibn al-Khattab the senior Sahaba of the prophet Muhammad, his mother was also prophet's companion.
His father, Umar was born in Mecca to the Banu Adi clan, which was responsible for arbitration among the tribes.[2] His mother, Jamila was the daughter of Thabit ibn Abi al-Aflah and Al-Shamus bint Abi Amir, who were both from the 'Amr ibn Awf clan of the Aws tribe in Medina.[3][4] Her brother Asim was among those who fought at Badr.[5][6][7][8][9]
His mother, Jamila was one of Medina's first converts to Islam. She and her mother were among the first ten women to pledge allegiance to Muhammad in 622.[10] On hearing that her name was Asiya ("disobedient"), Muhammad renamed her: "No, you are Jamila" ("beautiful").[11]
She married Umar about five years later, between May 627 and May 628.[12] They had one son, Asim ibn Umar.[13][14][15][16][17] On one occasion, Jamila asked Umar for money, and, as he afterwards reported to Muhammad:
Jamila and Asim returned to her family in the suburb of Quba. One day Umar arrived in Quba and saw Asim playing in the mosque courtyard. He picked him up and placed him on his mount. Jamila's mother Al-Shamus saw that Umar was taking her grandson away and came up to protest. They could not agree who should have custody of Asim and so they brought their dispute before Abu Bakr. When Abu Bakr ruled, "Do not interfere between a child and its mother," Umar dropped his case and allowed Jamila to keep her son.[18]
Later Jamila was married to Yazid ibn Jariya, and they had one son, Abd al-Rahman.[19][20] Thus, Asim had a Maternal half-brother from his mother.
Asim was just a four years old when prophet died and he was almost six or seven when caliph Abu Bakr al-Siddiq died. After the death of Abu Bakr (died 634) his father was recognized as the next Caliph by Muslim community.

He ruled until his assassination in 661. After the unfortunate death of Ali the Muslim community selected al-Hasan as the Caliph, however he abdicated the throne in favour of Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan the governor of Syria, to end the civil war by a pact. Mu'awiya I was recognized as the new Caliph, this marked the end of Rashidun era and beginning of Umayyad era.
