[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emigrated, he left behind his daughters. When he settled in Medina, he sent Zaid ibn Harithah and Abu Rafi' with them, giving them two camels and five hundred dirhams, which he had taken from Abu Bakr. They were to buy what they needed for their livelihood. Abu Bakr also sent with them Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr, along with two or three camels. He wrote to Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr to bring his family, including Umm Abi Bakr, Umm Rumman, myself, my brother, and Asma' the wife of Az-Zubayr. They set out together until they reached Qudaid, where Zaid ibn Harithah bought three camels with the five hundred dirhams. They all then entered Makkah together and met Talhah ibn Ubayd Allah, who wanted to migrate. So we all left and Zaid and Abu Rafi' also left with Fatimah and Umm Kulthum, Suhdah bint Zam'ah, and Zaid taking Umm Ayman and her son Ayman, as well as Usamah. They accompanied us until we reached Al-Bayd and one of our camels ran off while I was on it with my mother. My mother started saying, "Woe to my two daughters! Woe to their husbands!" Then our camel was retrieved after it had descended from the incline of Harrasha. May Allah grant peace. We finally reached Madinah, where I stayed with the family of Abu Bakr and the Prophet ﷺ stayed at that time building the mosque and reciting poetry about it. He stayed there for some time before Abu Bakr said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, why don't you build a house for your family?" He said, "As-Sadaqah (charity)" and Abu Bakr gave him 12 ounces of gold and silver as charity, which he sent to us. The Prophet ﷺ then built a house for me, the house in which I am now, and it is the house in which he passed away and was buried. The Prophet ﷺ also admitted Suhdah bint Zam'ah into one of those houses. He used to stay with her sometimes because he was married to her. As for me, I used to play with the young girls and I was not aware that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had married me until my mother took me and confined me to the house. It crossed my mind that I had been married, but I did not ask her about it until she informed me.
