[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.'"
