Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Abdul Muttalib R .A is the distinguished father of our beloved and merciful Mustafa صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم΅. His honorable name is Abdullah, and his title (laqab) is Zabeeh. His kunyahs (patronymic names) are Abu Muhammad, Abu Ahmad, and Abu Qasam (gatherer of goodness and blessings). (Abridged versions of Seerat-e-Walidayn-e-Mustafa, pages 49–42) Abdul Muttalib, his honorable father, was a chief of Banu Hashim and a leader of the Makkan Quraysh. Because of his good deeds, people often refer to him as "Shaybat-ul-Hamd," even though his real name is Shaybah. His honorable mother is Fatimah Bint-e-Amr (Madarij-un-Nubuwwah, vol. 2, pp. 12, abridged; Seerat-e-Walidayn-e-Mustafa, pp. 42, abridged). (Page 239, Tareekh-e-Tabari, vol. 2)
Siblings (brothers and sisters)
Sayyiduna Abdul Muttalib رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ married six times on six various occasions hence Sayyiduna Abdullah has 20 siblings (brothers and sisters). Of these, he shared the same mother and father with 3 brothers and 5 sisters. With 11 of his brothers, he only shared a father and the same with one sister (she was from his father’s side only, they did not share the same mother). (Seerat-e-Walidayn-e-Mustafa, pp. 40 - 41)
exchange for one (human) life. Sayyiduna Abdul Muttalib رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was the first ever individual to make an offering of one hundred camels in exchange for one life. Subsequently, this became a custom among the Quraysh as well as the rest of Arabia, and this law was maintained by Allah’s Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’ (Tabaqaat-e-Ibn Sa’d, vol. 1, pp. 72)

(Translators note I think you should remove this whole story about Jews and Ahl-e-Kitab because it could be seen in this country as ‘inciting hatred against Jews’
Therefore a group of Jews resolved not to return to their homes until they had assassinated Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. One day he had gone outside Makkah for the purpose of hunting. These wretched individuals made an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity and withdrew their swords from their sheaths in order to launch their attack. However, in order to protect Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, some riders appeared from the sky who assassinated those accursed Jews. By coincidence, Sayyidatuna Amina’s رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا noble father Sayyiduna Wahb Bin Abd-e-Munaaf witnessed this incident with his own eyes. (Madarij-un-Nubuwwah, vol. 1, pp. 182 abridged)
He gained a deep appreciation and admiration in his heart for Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and subsequently he met Sayyiduna Abdul Muttalib رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and expressed his desire to see his dear and beloved daughter Sayyidatuna ‘Aminah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا married to Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. The proposal was accepted. Following which Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and Sayyidatuna ‘Aminah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا got married. (Madarij-un-Nubuwwah, vol. 1, pp. 182 abridged)
Blessed demise
Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ accompanied caravan of the Quraysh to Syria on a business trip. During this business trip, he became ill. On its return, the caravan approached Madina-tul-Munawwarah and since Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was ill he decided to reside in Madinah with the Banoo-Adee-Bin-Najjaar who were related to Sayyiduna Abdullah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ through his father Abdul Muttalib’s رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ maternal grandparents. He رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ passed away at this very place at the age of 25. (Al-Muntazam, vol. 2, pp. 224 abridged)
