Virtues of Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her)

It is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) that they narrate: Sayyidah Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her) came as an emigrant and took up residence in the quarter (or house) of Rafi' bin al-Mu'alla al-Zuraqi. Some women from Banu Zurayq who were sitting with her said to her: You are the daughter of that Abu Lahab about whom Allah Almighty said: "Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab! His wealth and what he earned did not avail him." What they meant was: of what use will your emigration be to you? Sayyidah Durrah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and complained to him of what those women had said. the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told her to calm down and said: Sit down. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in the Zuhr prayer, then sat on the pulpit (minbar) for a while and said: "What is the reason that I am hurt concerning my family (that is, my relatives)? By Allah! My intercession will reach even the people of the tribes of Ha', Hakam, Suda and Salhab on the Day of Resurrection."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration; its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Rahman bin Bashir al-Dimashqi, whom Ibn Hibban declared trustworthy and Abu Hatim called da'if (weak). The remaining narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy).

Ibn Abi Husayn narrates: Sayyidah Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her) was the wife of al-Harith bin Abdullah bin Nawfal, and she bore him his children Uqbah, al-Walid and Abu Muslim. Then this lady came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah. The people talked a great deal about her parents, so she said: O Messenger of Allah! Is there no one besides me who is the child of disbelievers? the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked this lady: What has happened? The lady said: The people of Madinah have hurt me concerning my parents. the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to this lady: When I pray Zuhr, you should pray at a place where I can see you. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prayed Zuhr and turned and looked towards her, he turned to the people and said: "O people! Do you have lineage, and I have no lineage?" Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: May Allah Almighty be angry with whoever has made you angry. the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is my cousin; let no one say anything to her except good."

Sayyidah Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I was with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came into the house and said: Bring me water for ablution (wudu). Sayyidah Durrah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Aishah and I rushed towards the vessel, and I reached the vessel before her and took it. the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, raised his gaze towards me and said: "You are from me and I am from you." That lady narrates: Then a man was brought, and he said: I did not do it; it was said to me. That lady narrates: This man had asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while he was on the pulpit (minbar): Who is the best of people? the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who has the most understanding of the religion of Allah and who most upholds the ties of kinship." After this the narrator named Sharik mentioned two more things, which I do not remember.
