Asadullāh, Asadollah, Assadullah, or Asad Ullah, is a masculine given name of Arabic origin meaning Lion of God. The name was initially used to refer to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad's closest kinsmen, Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib and Ali ibn Abi Talib. Initially, the title was first given to Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, Muhammad's uncle. After the Battle of the Trench, when Ali defeated Amr ibn Abd al-Wud, Muhammad reportedly gave Ali the name Asadullah (Lion of God) and praised him, saying 'Ali's strike on Amr ibn Abd al-Wud is greater than the worship of both mankind and jinn until the Day of Judgement.' Notable people with the name include:
