It is narrated from Abu Bakr bin Abd al-Rahman that the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) told the people that she was the daughter of Abu Umayyah bin al-Mughirah (a chief of Makkah), but they disbelieved her and said (mockingly): "How the traveller lies!" Then, when some people were setting out for Hajj, she was asked: Will you write a letter to your family? She sent a letter with them, and (after it was confirmed) her honour in the people's hearts increased. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "After I gave birth to Zaynab, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married me."
