ʿAlī persisted until he married her to ʿAwn, she became fond of him, and he soon died, leaving her a widow. (1)

Ibn Isḥāq reports that her father then married her to Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar, who also died; afterwards her father gave her in marriage to ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar, and she died while in his household.

I (the author) say: None of the three brothers had any children by her.

Al-Zuhrī, however, relates that she bore Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar a daughter named Bathna.

Ibn Abī Khālid transmitted from al-Shaʿbī, who said: “I arrived when Ibn ʿUmar had just offered the funeral prayer for his brother Zayd ibn ʿUmar, whose mother was Umm Kulthūm bint ʿAlī.” (2)

Hammād ibn Salamah narrated from ʿAmmār ibn Abī ʿAmmār that Umm Kulthūm and Zayd ibn ʿUmar died, were shrouded, and Saʿīd ibn al-ʿĀṣ—meaning the governor of Medina—led the funeral prayer over them. (3)

Her son Zayd was counted among the foremost nobles of Quraysh; he died young and left no descendants.

A man related: “We traveled with Zayd to visit Muʿāwiyah. Muʿāwiyah seated him beside himself, for Zayd was exceptionally handsome. Busr uttered an insulting word; Zayd went down to him, threw him to the ground, choked him, and pinned him to the floor, saying to Muʿāwiyah, ‘I know this was at your prompting, and I am the son of the two caliphs.’

He then came out to us with his hair and turban in disarray. Muʿāwiyah apologized to him and ordered that one hundred thousand be given to him, and a sum of money to ten of his attendants.

It is said that a disturbance broke out at night; Zayd rode out to confront it, was struck by a stone, and died from the injury. This occurred in the early years of Muʿāwiyah’s rule.
