[Machine] She was proposed to by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have three qualities: I am an old woman." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am older than you." She said, "And I am a jealous woman." He said, "I will pray to Allah to remove your jealousy." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who frequently falls ill." He said, "They (the matters of illness) are in the hands of Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then married her. He went to her and found her breastfeeding, so he left and came back later and found her still breastfeeding. He then said to 'Ammar ibn Yasir, "Go to her and tell her to stop breastfeeding." 'Ammar went to her and said, "Come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as there is something he needs from you." He took her and breastfed her, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to her and asked, "Where is Zunab?," meaning Zainab. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, 'Ammar took her and entered (into the room) with her saying, 'You have a higher status than your family.'" He stayed with her until evening prayers and then said, "If you wish, I will marry you and seven others, and if you wish, I will divide my time equally among all my wives, and if you wish, I will stay exclusively with you." She said, "No, but rather divide your time among all your wives."  

عَنْهَا وَانْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا خَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ فِيَّ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ أَنَا امْرَأَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْكِ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ غَيُورٌ قَالَ أَدْعُو اللهَ ﷻ فَيُذْهِبُغَيْرَتَكِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مُصْبِيَةٌ قَالَ هُمْ إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قَالَ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَاهَا فَوَجَدَهَا تُرْضِعُ فَانْصَرَفَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهَا فَوَجَدَهَا تُرْضِعُ فَانْصَرَفَ قَالَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ فَأَتَاهَا فَقَالَ حُلْتِ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ حَاجَتِهِ هَلُمَّ الصَّبِيَّةَ قَالَ فَأَخَذَهَا فَاسْتَرْضَعَ لَهَا فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ زُنَابُ؟ يَعْنِي زَيْنَبَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخَذَهَا عَمَّارٌ فَدَخَلَ بِهَا وَقَالَ إِنَّ بِكِ عَلَى أَهْلِكِ كَرَامَةً قَالَ فَأَقَامَ عِنْدَهَا إِلَى الْعَشِيِّ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ وَإِنْ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ سَبَّعْتُ لِسَائِرِ نِسَائِي وَإِنْ شِئْتِ قَسَمْتُ لَكِ قَالَتْ لَا بَلْ اقْسِمْ لِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever is afflicted with a calamity, let him say: 'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return. O Allah, I seek reward and compensation from You for my calamity. Replace it with something better for me.' When Abu Salamah died, I said these words and kept saying them every time I experienced a calamity, saying to myself, 'Who is better than Abu Salamah?' I continued to say them until the prescribed period of mourning was completed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then sent 'Umar ibn al-Khattab to propose to me on his behalf. I said to my son, 'O 'Umar, go and marry me to the Messenger of Allah.' He did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would often come to visit me and be intimate with me. Whenever he came, I would give my daughter Zainab to him, and she would sleep in my bed. 'Ammar ibn Yasir, who was her foster brother, discovered this and came to me, saying, 'Where is that cursed woman who has annoyed the Messenger of Allah?' He took her and left. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and entered, striking his thigh with the side of his hand, and said, 'What has Zainab done?' I said, 'Ammar came and took her away.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'Indeed, I have built a structure using her (i.e., metaphorical language meaning marital relationships) and have not taken anything away from you that you have given me, except for two young camels and a stuffed cushion that I will return to you.' He also said, 'Indeed, if I have married seven wives, I have married them for the sake of my wives.'"
