[Machine] Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, informed him that when she arrived in Medina, she told the people that she was the daughter of Abu Umama ibn al-Mughira. They accused her of lying and said, "We have never heard of such strange things until some people started going for Hajj." They asked, "Why do you write to your family?" She wrote to them and they returned to Medina, believing her. As a result, their honor increased.

Um Salama said, "When I gave birth to Zainab, the Prophet ﷺ came to me and proposed to me. I said, 'No woman like me has ever been married before. I do not have any children, and I am jealous and have my own family.' He said, 'I am older than you, and Allah will remove your jealousy. As for having children, that is up to Allah and His Messenger.' So he married me."

Then the Prophet ﷺ used to come to her and say, "Where is Zunab?" Until one day, Ammar ibn Yasir came and bothered her. He said, "She is preventing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She was breastfeeding her, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and asked, "Where is Zunab?" She said, "She is with the close relative of Abu Umama." Ammar ibn Yasir took her with him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will come to you tonight." Um Salama said, "I got up and brought some grains of barley that were in a sack, and I brought some fat and smeared it on them. I provided it for him." Um Salama added, "The Prophet ﷺ slept until morning and when he woke up, he said, 'You have a special position among your family. If you wish, I can divorce you or I can keep you as my wives.'"  

أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّها لَمَّا قَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُمْ أَنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ فَكَذَّبُوهَا وَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَكْذَبَ الْغَرَائِبَ حَتَّى أَنْشَأَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَقَالُوا مَا تَكْتُبِينَ إِلَى أَهْلِكِ؟ فَكَتَبَتْ مَعَهُمْ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يُصَدِّقُونَهَافَازْدَادَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَرَامَةً قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا وَضَعْتُ زَيْنَبَ جَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَخَطَبَنِي فَقُلْتُ مَا مِثْلِي نُكِحَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا وَلَدَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ وَذَاتُ عِيَالٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْكِ وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ فَيُذْهِبُهَا اللهُ ﷻ وَأَمَّا الْعِيَالُ فَإِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَجَعَلَ يَأْتِيهَا فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ زُنَابُ؟ حَتَّى جَاءَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ يَوْمًا فَاخْتَلَجَهَا وَقَالَ هَذِهِ تَمْنَعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَتْ تُرْضِعُهَا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ زُنَابُ؟ فَقَالَتْ قَرِيبَةُ ابْنَةِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَوَافَقَهَا عِنْدَهَا أَخَذَهَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي آتِيكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَتْ فَقُمْتُ فَأَخْرَجْتُ حَبَّاتٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَتْ فِي جَرٍّ وَأَخْرَجْتُ شَحْمًا فَعَصَدْتُهُ لَهُ قَالَتْ فَبَاتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ فَقَالَ حِينَ أَصْبَحَ إِنَّ لَكِ عَلَى أَهْلِكِ كَرَامَةً فَإِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ وَإِنْ أُسَبِّعْ لَكِ أُسَبِّعْ لِنِسَائِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When any of you experience a calamity, say 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.' O Allah, I seek reward from You for my calamity and ask You to replace it with something better.' I used to say this when I had any difficulty. When my waiting period after the death of my husband ended, Abu Bakr proposed to me and I turned him down. Then, Umar proposed to me and I turned him down. The Prophet ﷺ sent someone to propose to me on his behalf, and I said, 'Welcome to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his messenger! Please convey to him that I am a widow and I have no guardian except Allah. As for your saying that I am a widow, Allah will take care of my children. And as for considering yourself as a replacement, I will pray to Allah to replace you with someone better. As for the guardians, there is no one among them who can testify and there is no one absent whose permission is needed. So, the Prophet ﷺ sent me a message saying, 'As for your saying that you are a widow, Allah will take care of your children. And as for your saying that there is no one except me, I will supplicate to Allah to remove your difficulty. As for the guardians, there is no one among them who can testify and there is no one absent whose permission is needed.' So, she said to her son, 'Stand up, O Umar, and let the Messenger of Allah ﷺ marry you to her.' The Prophet ﷺ then married them. He said to her, 'I will not deprive you of what I have given your sister, Fulanah, including two garments and a cushion filled with palm fibers.' The Prophet ﷺ used to visit her while Zainab was breastfeeding her child. Whenever the Prophet ﷺ came, she would give the child to him and he would place her (the child) in her (Zainab's) chamber to breastfeed her. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was generous and honorable. One day, Ammar ibn Yasir visited her when the Prophet ﷺ intended to visit her. Zainab hid in her chamber and said, 'Leave this disgraced and wretched woman (referring to herself) who has caused trouble for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and looked around the house, saying, 'Where is Zunab? Why can't I see Zunab?' Zainab said, 'Ammar came and took her away.' The Prophet ﷺ then left. He was planning to visit her one day when Ammar came and took her away."

[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.'"

[Machine] Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , informed him that when she arrived in Madinah, she told the people that she was the daughter of Abu Umamah ibn al-Mughirah. However, they accused her of lying and said, "What strange lies!" Then, some people from them started to perform Hajj, and they said to her, "Write to your family." So, she wrote with them, and they returned to Madinah, believing her. Consequently, their respect for her increased. She said, "When I gave birth to Zainab, the Prophet ﷺ came to me proposing marriage. I said, 'Women like me are not married. Moreover, I am jealous and have children.' He ﷺ said, 'I am older than you, and as for the jealousy, Allah will remove it, and as for the children, it is up to Allah and His Messenger.' Therefore, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married her and said, 'I will visit you tonight.' She said, 'I took out some barley grains from my bag and some fat, and I separated them for him.' He spent the night there, and in the morning he said, 'You have brought honor to your family. If you wish, I will maintain you and if you wish, I will maintain your spouse.'"

So he married her and would come to her and say, 'Where is Zunab?' Until one day, Ammar bin Yasir came and bothered her, saying, 'She is preventing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from coming to her.' She was breastfeeding her, then the Prophet ﷺ came and said, 'Where is Zunab?' She said, 'Umaya's cousin has taken her.' Ammar bin Yasir took her and the Prophet ﷺ said to them, 'I will come to you tonight.' She said, 'So I got up and put my children to sleep, and I delayed some barley grains that were in a container and brought out some fat and placed it in front of him.' She said, 'The Prophet ﷺ spent the night with me, and in the morning, he said, 'Indeed, you have a virtue over your family. If you wish, I can keep you, and if you wish, I can divorce you for my wives.'"

"عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا لما قَدِمَت الْمَدِينَة أَخْبَرتْهم أَنَّها ابْنَةُ أَبِي أُمَيةَ بن الْمغيرَة فَكَذِّبُوهَا حَتَّى أَنْشَأَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُم الْحَجِّ، فَقَالُوا: تَكْتُبِينَ إِلَى أَهْلِك فكتبتُ مَعهُم فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمدينة يصدقونها، فَازْدَادَتْ عَلَيهم كَرَامَة، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا وَضَعت زَيْنَب جَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَخَطَبَني، فَقُلْتُ: مِثْلي تُنْكَحُ؟ ! ! ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا وَلَد فِيَّ وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ [غَيْرَى] ذَاتُ عِيَال؟ قَالَ: أَنَا أَكْبر مِنْكِ، وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ فُيذْهبُها الله - تَعَالَى- وَأَمَّا العِيَال فَإلَى الله وَإلَى رسُولِهِ، فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَأتِيهَا فَيَقُولُ: أَيْنَ زنَاب حَتَّى جَاءَ عَمَّارٌ فَاخْتَلَجَهَا فَقَالَ: هَذِهِ تَمْنَع رسُول اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَت تُرْضعها، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَيْن زنَاب فَقَالَ: [قريبة] بِنْت أَبِي أُمَيَّة، وَافَقَتْهَا عِنْدَهَا أَخَذَها ابنُ يَاسِرٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي آتِيكُم اللَّيلَة، فَوَضَعتُ ثِفَالي (*)، فَأَخْرَجْتُ حَبَّاتٍ مِن شَعِير كَانَتْ في [جَرتي]، وَأَخْرَجَت شَحْمًا [فعصدتُ] لَهُ فَبَاتَ، ثُم أَصْبَحَ فَقَالَ حِينَ أَصْبَح إنَّ لَك عَلَى أَهلِكِ كَرَامَةً، إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعتُ لَكِ، وَإن أُسَبِّعْ لَكِ أُسَبِّع لِنِسَائِي".
