Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet (SAW)

أم سلمة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 209:128

Abu Khaythama narrated to us, Rawh ibn ‘Ubadah narrated to us, Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, he said: Habib ibn Abi Thabit informed me that ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi ‘Amr and al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham informed him that they both heard Abu Bakr ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham informing that Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), informed him that when she arrived in Medina, she informed them that she was the daughter of Abu Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah. They denied her and said, "How lying are the strangers!" until some people among them prepared for Hajj and said, "Will you write to your family?" So she wrote with them, and they returned to Medina confirming her, and her honor increased in their eyes. She said: "When I gave birth to Zaynab, the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) came to me proposing to me. I said, 'Should someone like me be married? As for me, I have children, and I am a jealous woman with a family.' He said, 'As for me, I am older than you. As for the jealousy, Allah will remove it. And as for the family, they are for Allah and His Messenger.' So the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) married her." She said: "He began to come to her and say, 'Where is Zanab?' until ‘Ammar came and snatched her away, saying, 'This one prevents the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)!' She was breastfeeding her. He came to her and said, 'Where is Zanab?' She said, 'Qaribah bint Abi Umayyah,' and he found her with her. Ibn Yasir took her. The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'I will come to you tonight.' She said: 'So I put away my clothes and took out some grains of barley that were in my jar, and I took out some fat, and I cooked a porridge for him.'" She said: "He spent the night, and when he woke up in the morning, he said: 'You have honor among your family. If you wish, I will stay with you for seven days, and if I stay with you for seven days, I will stay with my wives for seven days.'"

حدثنا أبو خيثمة حدثنا روح بن عبادة حدثنا بن جريج قال أخبرني حبيب بن أبي ثابت أن عبد الحميد بن عبد الله بن أبي عمرو والقاسم بن محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام أخبراه أنهما سمعا أبا بكر بن عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام يخبر أن أم سلمة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أخبرته أنها لما قدمت المدينة أخبرتهم أنها أبنة أبي أمية بن المغيرة فكذبوها ويقولون ما أكذب الغرائب حتى أنشأ ناس منهم الحج فقالوا تكتبين إلى أهلك فكتبت معهم فرجعوا إلى المدينة يصدقونها فازدادت عليهم كرامة قالت فلما وضعت زينب * جاءني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطبني فقلت مثلي تنكح أما أنا فلا ولد في وأنا غيرى ذات عيال قال أنا أكبر منك وأما الغيرة فيذهبها الله وأما العيال فإلى الله وإلى رسوله فتزوجها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجعل يأتيها فيقول أي زناب حتى جاء عمار فاختلجها فقال هذه تمنع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وكانت ترضعها فجاء إليها فقال أين زناب فقالت قريبة بنت أبي أمية ووافقها عندها أخذها بن ياسر فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أني آتيكم الليلة قالت فوضعت ثيابي فأخرجت حبات من شعير كانت في جرتي وأخرجت شحما فعصدت له قالت فبات ثم أصبح فقال حين أصبح إن لك على أهلك كرامة إن شئت سبعت لك وإن أسبع لك أسبع لنسائي
