حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي إِيَّايَ (٤) حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، وَالْقَاسِمَ، أَخْبَرَاهُ أَنَّهُمَا، سَمِعَا أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يُخْبِرُ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّها لَمَّا قَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُمْ أَنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، فَكَذَّبُوهَا، وَيَقُولُونَ: مَا أَكْذَبَ الْغَرَائِبَ، حَتَّى أَنْشَأَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الْحَجِّ، فَقَالُوا: مَا تَكْتُبِينَ إِلَى أَهْلِكِ؟ فَكَتَبَتْ مَعَهُمْ، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يُصَدِّقُونَهَا،، ، فَازْدَادَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَرَامَةً. قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا وَضَعْتُ زَيْنَبَ، جَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَطَبَنِي (١) ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا مِثْلِي نُكِحَ، أَمَّا أَنَا، فَلَا وَلَدَ فِيَّ (٢) ، وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ، وَذَاتُ عِيَالٍ، فَقَالَ: " أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْكِ، وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ، فَيُذْهِبُهَا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَأَمَّا الْعِيَالُ، فَإِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ". فَتَزَوَّجَهَا، فَجَعَلَ يَأْتِيهَا فَيَقُولُ: " أَيْنَ زُنَابُ؟ " حَتَّى جَاءَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ يَوْمًا، فَاخْتَلَجَهَا، وَقَالَ: هَذِهِ تَمْنَعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَتْ تُرْضِعُهَا، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ زُنَابُ؟ " فَقَالَتْ قَرِيبَةُ ابْنَةِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَوَافَقَهَا عِنْدَهَا: أَخَذَهَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي آتِيكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ ". قَالَتْ: فَقُمْتُ، فَأَخْرَجْتُ حَبَّاتٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَتْ فِي جَرٍّ، وَأَخْرَجْتُ شَحْمًا فَعَصَدْتُهُ (٣) لَهُ. قَالَتْ: فَبَاتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ، فَقَالَ حِينَ أَصْبَحَ: " إِنَّ لَكِ (٤) عَلَى أَهْلِكِ كَرَامَةً، فَإِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ، وَإِنْ (٥) أُسَبِّعْ لَكِ، أُسَبِّعْ لِنِسَائِي " (٦)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when she came to Madinah Munawwarah, she informed the people that she was the daughter of Abu Umayyah bin Mughirah, but the people did not accept her statement and said, "What a great lie this is." Then, when some people were about to leave for Hajj, she was asked, "Do you want to write something to your family?" She wrote a letter and sent it through them. When those people returned to Madinah, they began to confirm the identity of Umm Salamah and her respect increased. She says that when Zainab was born to me, the Prophet (ﷺ) came to me and proposed marriage. I said, "Is marriage contracted with women like me? I am old in age, I am very jealous, and I have children." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am older than you in age. As for jealousy, Allah will remove it, and as for the children, they are under the responsibility of Allah and His Messenger." Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) married her. After that, whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) would come to her for privacy, as soon as she saw the Prophet (ﷺ), she would grab her daughter Zainab and seat her in her lap, and eventually the Prophet (ﷺ) would leave in the same way. When Ammar bin Yasir, who was the foster brother of Umm Salamah, came to know of this, he came to Umm Salamah and said, "Where is that dirty girl through whom you have been causing pain to the Prophet (ﷺ)?" and he took her away with him. This time, when the Prophet (ﷺ) came and entered the house, he looked around all four corners of the room and then asked about the girl, "Where is Zanab (Zainab)?" She replied, "Ammar came and took her with him." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) had privacy with her and said, "If you wish, I will spend seven days with you, but then I will also spend seven days with each of my other wives."
