Ata bin Abi Rabah, may Allah have mercy on him, says that we were present at a place called Sarf with Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Maymunah's funeral along with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: This is Maymunah. When you lift her bier, do not move the bed quickly nor shake it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had nine pure wives, of whom he used to allocate turns to eight (including Sayyida Maymunah, may Allah be pleased with her), and one wife (with her permission and consent) did not have a turn. Ata says that the wife whose turn was not fixed was Sayyida Safiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, (but according to the majority of researchers, it was Sayyida Sawdah, may Allah be pleased with her. And Allah knows best).
