[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."

[Machine] About her and her waiting period ended, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed to her. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have three qualities: I am an older woman." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am older than you." She said, "I am a jealous woman." He said, "I invoke Allah to remove your jealousy." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who frequently gets sick." He said, "They are in the hands of Allah and His Messenger." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married her. When he came to her, he found her breastfeeding, so he left. Then he came to her again and found her breastfeeding again, so he left. This matter reached Ammar ibn Yasir, so he came to her and said, "You have come between the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his need. Bring the baby girl here." He took her and breastfed her. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to her and said, "Where is Zainab?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ammar took her and went in with her and said, 'You have a great honor with your family.' He stayed with her until evening and then said, 'If you wish, I will grant you seven turns, and if I grant you seven turns, I will grant the rest of my wives seven turns. And if you wish, I will divide it for you.' She said, 'No, rather you divide it for me.'"
