Sumayyah bint Khayyat (Arabic: سمية بنت خياطّ) was the mother of the well-known early Muslim Ammar ibn Yasir.
The earliest form of the story is found in Ibn Ishaq who narrates that she was killed for being a Muslim. [1]
According to Mother of the Believers wriiten by Kamran Pasha, Abu Jahl takes a spear and shoves it up her vagina and into her womb which causes all her organs to come out.
In another place [2] Ibn Ishaq (page 229) tells about people calling Ammar "Ibn Sumayya" which is odd (Ammar should be called Ibn Yasir) but not unheard of. From this his mothers name was deduced.
