Umar ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas ibn Ahiwab ibn Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah. His mother was Mariyah bint Qays ibn Madi Karb ibn Abi al-Kaysim ibn al-Samṭ ibn Imru' al-Qays from the tribe of Kindah. Umar ibn Sa'd had children named Hafs and Hafsah, and their mother was Umm Hafs, whose name was Maryam bint Amir ibn Abi Waqqas, and Abdullah the Elder, whose mother was a concubine named Salmah, and Abd al-Rahman the Younger, and Um Amr, and their mother was Umm Yahya, daughter of Abdullah ibn Madi Karb ibn Qays ibn Madi Karb from Kindah, and Hamzah, Abd al-Rahman, Muhammad, and Mughirah, who had no surviving offspring, and Hamzah the Younger, and their mother was a concubine, and Muhammad the Younger, and Mughirah, and Abdullah, all from the mothers of the concubines, and Abdullah the Younger, whose mother was from Kindah, and Umm Yahya, and Umm Salamah, and Umm Kulthum, and Humaydah, and Hafsah the Younger, and Um Amr the Younger, and Umm Abdullah, all from the mothers of concubines.
Umar ibn Sa'd was in Kufa, and Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad appointed him to govern Ray and Hamadhan, and sent an expedition with him. When Husayn ibn Ali (peace be upon him) came to Iraq, Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad commanded Umar ibn Sa'd to march against him and sent four thousand of his soldiers with him, saying: If he comes out to you and places his hand in mine, then you may return, otherwise, fight him. Umar refused to comply with this. Ubaydullah said: If you do not do this, I will remove you from your position and demolish your house. So he obeyed and prepared to go out to Husayn, and fought him until Husayn was killed. When al-Mukhtar ibn Abi Ubayd al-Thaqafi gained ascendancy over Kufa, he killed Umar ibn Sa'd and his son Hafs.
