Arwa' the daughter of Rabi'ah Ibn Harith Ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib al-Hashimi was married to Habban Ibn Munqidh al-Ansari. She was the mother of Yahya and Wasi', the sons of Habban Ibn Munqidh. She was also called Hind. She died in the year 60 A.H. An examination of the genealogy of Arwa Ibn Harith reveals that Arwa Bint Harith was the paternal aunt of Arwa' Bint Rabi' ah.

Ibn Athir and Ibn Hajar have mentioned her name as one of the companions of the Holy Prophet (S), and Sayyid al-Amini has brought her name as one of the Shi'ah dignitaries.1 She has related traditions from the Holy Prophet (S).
