How to say “mother” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وكانت أمه مولاة لأم سلمة؛ زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم،
His mother was a freedwoman of Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
أُمُّهُ — his mother. This noun carries an attached 'his', so one word means 'his mother', and it is the subject of 'was', hence the subject form. The fused 'his' points back to Al-Hasan.
