Her Marriage:

She married az Zubayr bin al-'Awam and gave birth to their children 'Umar and Khalid. 

Her Death:

She was the last of the female Companions to die.

She lived until the days of the Companion Sahl bin Sa'd.

She died in 91 AH. 

Umm Khalid bint Khalid said,

"The day we left Abyssinia on the two ships, I heard an-Najashi saying,

'All of you convey my salam to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from me.'

Thus, I was from those who conveyed the salam to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from an-Najashi." 

Umm Khalid's Gift & Du'a From the Prophet:

Umm Khalid said,

"Some clothes were presented to the Messenger of Allah as a gift and there was a black khamis with it.

The Prophet ﷺ asked (his companions),

"To whom do you suggest we give this khamis?"

The people kept quiet.

Then he said, "Bring me Umm Khalid."

So I was carried to him (as I was a small girl at that time).

And he dressed me with it with his own hands and said twice,

"May you live so long that you will wear out many garments."

He then started looking at the embroidery of that khamis and said,

"O Umm Khalid! This is sana!"

(Sana in the Ethiopian language means "beautiful".)

Is'haq, a subnarrator, said,

"A woman of my family told me that she had seen the khamis worn by Umm Khalid."
