ZAYNAB BINT KHUZAYMAH (رضي الله عنها)
Zaynab bint Khuzaymah bin al-Harith bin 'Abdillah al-Hilaliyyah.
She was called "the Mother of the Poor," even before Islam, due to her feeding the poor a great deal.
Her previous husband, 'Abdullah bin Jahsh, was killed during the Battle of Uhud.
The Prophet ﷺ married her in 3 AH during the month of Ramadan.
She only remained with him for a short time two or three months before she died.
Her sister is the Mother of the Believers Maymunah bint al-Harith, they share the same mother.
Her Siblings:
Zaynab's sisters who were the daughters of Hind bint 'Awf were:
Maymunah bint al-Harith (the wife of the Prophet ﷺ).
Asma' bint 'Umays (the wife of Abu Bakr as Siddiq).
Salma bint 'Umays (the wife of Hamzah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ).
Umm Fadl Lubabah bint al-Harith the Elder (the wife of 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ),
and Lubabah bint al-Harith the Younger (the mother of Khalid bin al-Walid).
Her death:
She was buried in al-Baqi'.
Other than Khadijah, she is the only wife of the Prophet ﷺ to die during his lifetime.
And she benefited from this because the Prophet ﷺ led the Janazah prayer over her and supplicated for her.
End.
