[Machine] Abu Ubaydah Mamarr bin Al-Muthanna then married the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the delegation of Kindah Qutaylah bin Qays, the sister of Ash'ath bin Qays, arrived in the tenth year. Then, he fell ill halfway through Safar and passed away on Monday, having been bedridden for two days in the month of Rabi al-Awwal. She did not meet him nor did he have relations with her. Some of them timed their marriage to her and claimed that he married her a month before his death. Others claimed that he married her during his illness. And some claimed that he recommended that Qutaylah have the choice, and if she wanted, she could choose marriage. So, Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl married her in Hadramaut. Abu Bakr was informed about it and said, "I intended to punish them." Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "She is not one of the mothers of the believers, and the Prophet ﷺ did not have relations with her, nor did he hit her with a veil." Some claimed that she apostatized.
