[Machine] Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , informed him that when Zainab gave birth, the Prophet ﷺ came to her and proposed to her. She replied, "No one like me can be married to you. As for me, I do not have any children and I am possessive with a family." He said, "I am older than you, and as for possessiveness, Allah will remove it, and as for children, it is up to Allah and His Messenger." So, he married her and would visit her and ask, "Where is Zunab?" until one day, Ammar came and bothered her. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is Zunab?" She replied, "She is with a relative, and Ammar took her with him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will come to you tonight." The Prophet ﷺ spent the night with her and in the morning, he said, "You have a status over your family. If you wish, I will keep you, and if you wish, I will divorce you for my wives."

[Machine] Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , informed him that when she arrived in Medina, she told them that she was the daughter of Ummaya bin Al-Mughira. However, they accused her of lying and said, "We have never heard of anything stranger than this." Until some of them started going for Hajj and they asked her, "Do you want us to write to your family?" So she wrote with them and they returned to Medina believing her. Their respect for her increased. She said, "When Zainab gave birth, the Prophet ﷺ came to me and proposed to me. I said, 'No one like me should be married, as I have children and I am possessive.' He said, 'I am older than you, and as for possessiveness, Allah will take it away, and as for children, they belong to Allah and His Messenger.' 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.'"

[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 Umama bin Al-Mughira. They accused her of lying and said, "No stranger tells such rare tales even until some people started talking about it during Hajj." They told her, "Write to your family," so she wrote with them. They returned to Madinah and confirmed her story, so their honor increased. She said, "When I gave birth to Zainab, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and asked for my hand in marriage. I said, 'No one like me should be married except to one with children, and I am a jealous woman with a family.' He said, 'I am older than you, and as for jealousy, Allah will remove it, and as for the family, it is with Allah and His Messenger.' So he married her to him. He used to come to her and say, 'How are you, Zunab? Where are the Zunabs?' Then Ammar bin Yasir came and disturbed her, so the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Where are the Zunabs?' She said, 'I am the daughter of Abu Umamah, and she is with me.' Ammar bin Yasir took her. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I will come to you tonight.' She said, 'I cleaned myself and took grains of barley from a sack, and it was in a container, or according to another narration, a gourd, and I took some fat and applied it. Then I spent the night and in the morning, he said, 'You have honor among your people. If you wish, I will keep you.' And if you dislike, I will divorce you, but continue to be one of my wives."
