It is narrated from Hazrat 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 Hazrat Umm Salamah and her respect increased. She says that when Zainab was born to me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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 (peace and blessings be upon him) 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 (peace and blessings be upon him) married her. After that, whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come to her for privacy, as soon as she saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), she would grab her daughter Zainab and seat her in her lap, and eventually the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave in the same way. When Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir, who was the foster brother of Hazrat Umm Salamah, came to know of this, he came to Hazrat Umm Salamah and said, "Where is that dirty girl through whom you have been causing pain to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" and he took her away with him. This time, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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, "Hazrat Ammar came and took her with him." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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."
