بَابُ السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ ﷺ أَمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَاْ
Chapter on the Seventh of His Wives ﷺ, Umm al-Mu’minin Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her)
Hadith 11452
عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ مَا أَوْلَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ أَكْثَرَ أَوْ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا أَوْلَمَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ فَمَا أَوْلَمَ قَالَ أَطْعَمَهُمْ خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا حَتَّى تَرَكُوهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not give a wedding feast (walimah) on the occasion of marriage with any of his other wives as he did on the occasion of marriage with Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Zaynab, may Allah be pleased with her. Thabit Banani asked: What kind of walimah did the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, give? He replied: He fed the people so much meat and bread that food was left over from the people.
Hadith 11453
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْكَحَنِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), while expressing pride over the other wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), used to say that my marriage with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was performed by Allah Almighty from above the heavens.
