ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab distributed some garments amongst the women of Medina. One good garment remained, and one of those present with him said, "O chief of the believers! Give this garment to your wife, the (grand) daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ." They meant Um Kulthum, the daughter of ʿAli. ʿUmar said, Um Salit has more right (to have it)."
