3. Zaynab bint Jahsh (d. 20 AH). 4. Hafsa bint Umar ibn al-Khattab (d. 27 AH). 5. Ramla—better known as Umm Habiba bint Abi Sufyan (d. 44 AH). 6. Juwayriya bint al-Harith al-Mustaliqiyya (d. 50 AH). 7. Maymuna bint al-Harith al-Hilaliyya (d. 51 AH). 8. Safiyya bint Huyayy (d. 52 AH). 9. Sawda bint Zam‘a (d. 54 AH). 10. Aisha bint Abi Bakr (d. 58 AH). 11. Hind—better known as Umm Salama bint Abi Umayya al-Qurashiyya al-Makhzumiyya (d. 62 AH); she was the last of his wives to pass away. The Prophet ﷺ died leaving nine of these wives alive, by consensus—namely all those just listed except Khadija and Zaynab bint Khuzayma. For their individual biographies and distinctive features, see al-Jalaʾ, pp. 154–72. (1) Pronounced with u on the initial dhal; derived from dharaʾa Allah al-khalq, meaning “God spread forth and brought the creatures into being.” The hamza was lightened through frequent usage. According to al-Jalaʾ (pp. 172–73) this is the soundest etymology. The term *dhurriyya* denotes a person’s children and their descendants. Do the offspring of daughters fall under *dhurriyya*? Al-Shafi‘i and Abu Hanifa disagreed: the former included them, the latter did not. In one report Ahmad adopted a middle position, stating: “Anyone whose paternal lineage is severed—whether by a case of li‘an or otherwise—his mother assumes, for purposes of lineage, the place of both his father and his mother.” Ibn al-Qayyim, p. 177.
