[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.'"
أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا لَمَّا قَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُمْ أَنَّهَا بِنْتُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةَ فَكَذَّبُوهَا وَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ مَا أَكْذَبَ الْغَرَائِبَ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمُ الْحَجَّ فَقَالُوا تَكْتُبِينَ إِلَى أَهْلِكِ فَكَتَبْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَصَدَّقُوهَا فَازْدَادَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَرَامَةً فَقَالَتْ لَمَّا وَضَعْتُ زَيْنَبَ جَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُنِي فَقُلْتُ مَثَلِي لَا يُنْكَحُ أَمَا أَنَّا فَلَا وَلَدَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ ذَاتُ عِيَالٍ قَالَ ﷺ «أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْكِ وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ فَيُذْهِبُهَا اللَّهُ وَأَمَّا الْعِيَالُ فَإِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ» فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «إِنِّي آتِيكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ» قَالَتْ فَأَخْرَجْتُ حَبَّاتٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَتْ فِي جَرَّتِي وَأَخْرَجْتُ شَحْمًا فَعَصَدْتُ لَهُ قَالَ فَبَاتَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ فَقَالَ حِينَ أَصْبَحَ «إِنَّ بِكِ عَلَى أَهْلِكِ كَرَامَةً إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ وَإِنَّ أُسَبِّعْ لَكِ أُسَبِّعُ لِنِسَائِي»
