Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

She was buried in al-Baqiʿ.

Muhammad ibn Saʿd said: Muhammad ibn ʿUmar narrated to us, Ibn Abī Zinād narrated to us, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from ʿĀʾisha, who said:

“When the Prophet ﷺ married Umm Salama, I became deeply upset because of what people had told us about her beauty. I looked for a gentle way to see her, and—by Allah—I found her many times more beautiful than what had been described to me. I mentioned this to Ḥafṣa— we were of one mind.

Ḥafṣa said, ‘No, by Allah, that is only jealousy. She is not as you claim, although she is indeed beautiful.’ I later saw her again, and she was exactly as Ḥafṣa had said, but I had been jealous.” (1)

Muslim al-Zanjī reported, from Mūsā ibn ʿUqba, from his mother, from Umm Kulthūm, who said:

“When the Prophet ﷺ married Umm Salama, he told her, ‘I have sent the Negus several ounces of musk and a mantle as a gift. I think he has died, and I do not expect the gift to be accepted; I anticipate it will be returned. If it is returned, it is yours.’

Things turned out just as he said: he gave each of his wives one ounce, and he gave the remainder together with the mantle to Umm Salama.” (2)

Al-Qaʿnabī narrated: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar al-Zuhrī told us, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father:

“The Messenger of Allah ordered Umm Salama to perform the dawn prayer in Mecca on the Day of Sacrifice; it was her allotted day, and he wanted her to accompany him.” (3)

(1) Reported by Ibn Saʿd, vol. 8, p. 94. The Muhammad b. ʿAmr mentioned here is al-Waqidi, whose narrations are not admissible. (2) Also found in Ibn Saʿd, al-Tabaqat, vol. 8, p. 94; its chain of transmission is weak. (3) All the transmitters are trustworthy, yet the report is mursal. It appears in al-Tabaqat, vol. 8, p. 95, and in Ahmad, Musnad, vol. 6, p. 291, through Abu Muʿawiyah → Hisham b. ʿUrwah → his father → Zaynab bt. Abi Salamah → Umm Salamah, stating that the Messenger of Allah instructed her to join him for the dawn prayer in Mecca on the Day of Sacrifice. This isnad is sound. Abu Dawud (no. 1942, Book of Manasik, chapter “Hastening from Muzdalifah”) likewise transmits it through Harun b. ʿAbd Allah → Ibn Abi Fudayk → al-Dahhak b. ʿUthman → Hisham b. ʿUrwah → his father → ʿAʾishah, who said: “The Prophet sent …”. See also Siyar, vol. 2, p. 14.
وَدُفِنَتْ بِالبَقِيْعِ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بنُ سَعْدٍ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، حَزِنْتُ حُزْناً شَدِيْداً؛ لِمَا ذَكَرُوا لَنَا مِنْ جَمَالِهَا، فَتَلَطَّفْتُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهَا، فَرَأَيْتُهَا -وَاللهِ- أَضْعَافَ مَا وُصِفَتْ لِي فِي الحُسْنِ؛ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِحَفْصَةَ - وَكَانَتَا يَداً وَاحِدَةً -. فَقَالَتْ: لاَ وَاللهِ، إِنْ هَذِهِ إِلاَّ الغَيْرَةُ، مَا هِيَ كَمَا تَقُوْلِيْنَ، وَإِنَّهَا لَجَمِيْلَةٌ، فَرَأَيْتُهَا بَعْدُ، فَكَانَتْ كَمَا قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ، وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ غَيْرَى (١) . مُسْلِمٌ الزَّنْجِيُّ: عَنْ مُوْسَى بنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنِ أُمِّ كُلْثُوْمٍ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ لَهَا: (إِنِّي قَدْ أَهْدَيْتُ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ أَوَاقِيَّ مِنْ مِسْكٍ وَحُلَّةً، وَإِنِّي أَرَاهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَلاَ أَرَى الهَدِيَّةَ إِلاَّ سَتُرَدُّ، فَإِنْ رُدَّتْ فَهِيَ لَكِ) . قَالَتْ: فَكَانَ كَمَا قَالَ، فَأَعْطَى كُلَّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ أُوْقِيَّةٍ، وَأَعْطَى سَائِرَهُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ وَالحُلَّةَ (٢) . القَعْنَبِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بنُ جَعْفَرٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ: أَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ أَمَرَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الصُّبْحَ بِمَكَّةَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ، وَكَانَ يَوْمَهَا، فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ تُوَافِيَهُ (٣) .
