So Zayd married her. (1)

Abu Nuʿaym relates: Abu Maʿshar told us, from Muhammad ibn Qays:

Umm Ayman came and said, “Messenger of Allah, provide a mount for me.”
He replied, “Shall I seat you on the foal of a she-camel?”
She said, “It will not be able to carry me, nor do I want it.”
He answered, “I will mount you on nothing else,”—meaning he was teasing her. (2)

Al-Waqidi narrates, from ʿĀʾidh ibn Yaḥyā, from Abu ’l-Ḥuwayrith:

On the Day of Hunayn Umm Ayman exclaimed, “May Allah steady your feet!”
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Quiet, for your tongue finds the words difficult.” (3)

Abu Jaʿfar al-Baqir said: Umm Ayman entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, “Salām lā ʿalaykum.”
He permitted her to say, “As-salām (ʿalaykum).” (4)

Muʿtamar ibn Sulaymān relates, from his father, from Anas:

A man would set aside some of his date-palms for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and this continued until the fortresses of Qurayzah and al-Nadir were opened, after which the Prophet began returning such gifts.

(1) Reported by Ibn Saʿd, 8/224, through ʿUbayd Allah b. Musa from Fudayl b. Marzuq. The verb *talattafa* means to present a gift, show honour and act benevolently. The transmitters are all trustworthy, yet the chain is broken (munqatiʿ). (2) The isnad is weak because of Abu Maʿshar—his full name is Najih b. ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Sindi—and, moreover, it is mursal (the Companion is omitted). It also appears in Ibn Saʿd, *al-Tabaqat*, 8/224, with the remainder of the wording: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would joke, but he never spoke except the truth; all camels trace their lineage back to the she-camel.” (3) Ibn Saʿd, 8/225.

قَالَ: فَتَزَوَّجَهَا زَيْدٌ (١) . أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ قَيْسٍ: جَاءتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ، احْمِلْنِي. قَالَ: (أَحْمِلُكِ عَلَى وَلَدِ النَّاقَةِ؟) . قَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ لاَ يُطِيْقُنِي، وَلاَ أُرِيْدُهُ. قَالَ: (لاَ أَحْمِلُكِ إِلاَّ عَلَيْهِ) يَعْنِي: يُمَازِحُهَا (٢) . الوَاقِدِيُّ: عَنْ عَائِذِ بنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي الحُوَيْرِثِ: أَنَّ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ قَالَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ: سَبَّتَ اللهُ أَقْدَامَكُمْ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: (اسْكُتِي، فَإِنَّكِ عَسْرَاءُ اللِّسَانِ (٣)) . وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ البَاقِرُ: دَخَلَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ: سَلاَمَ لاّ عَلَيْكُمْ. فَرَخَّصَ لَهَا أَنْ تَقُوْلَ: السَّلاَمُ (٤) . مُعْتَمِرُ بنُ سُلَيْمَانَ: عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ يَجْعَلُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ مَالِهِ النَّخْلاَتِ، حَتَّى فُتِحَتْ قُرَيْظَةُ وَالنَّضِيْرُ، فَجَعَلَ يَرُدُّ. وَإِنَّ أَهْلِي أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ الَّذِي كَانَ أَهْلُهُ أَعْطَوْهُ، أَوْ بَعْضُهُ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ أَعْطَى ذَاكَ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَأَعْطَانِيْهِنَّ. فَجَاءتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ، فَجَعَلَتِ الثَّوْبَ فِي عُنُقِي، وَجَعَلَتْ تَقُوْلُ: كَلاَّ -وَاللهِ- لاَ يُعْطِيْكَهُنَّ، وَقَدْ أَعْطَانِيْهِنَّ. فَقَالَ
