It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a gift was presented to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and among it was a necklace of Yemeni pearls. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will give this necklace to the one among my family who is most beloved to me." The women thought that this necklace would be taken by the daughter of Abu Quhafa, that is, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called his granddaughter, Sayyida Umamah bint Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her), and placed the necklace around her neck.
