It is narrated from Urwah, who reports from Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she was married to Ubaydullah bin Jahsh. He had gone to the court of Najashi and died there (after becoming an apostate). Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) was still in Abyssinia when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her. Her marriage to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was performed by Najashi, and he paid four thousand dinars as her dowry on behalf of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he prepared her for the journey and sent her to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with Sharjeel bin Hasnah (may Allah be pleased with him). All her preparations and provisions were from Najashi; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not sent anything. The dowry of the rest of the wives was four hundred dirhams.
