Urwah reported on the authority of Umm Habibah that she was married to Abdullah ibn Jahsh who died in Abyssinia, so the Negus married her to the Prophet ﷺ giving her on his behalf a dower of four thousand (dirhams). He sent her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with Shurahbil ibn Hasanah. Abu Dawud said: Hasanah is his mother.
