Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Khadijah’s (may Allah be pleased with her) sister, Halah bint Khuwaylid, sought permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remembered Khadijah’s way of seeking permission and was startled by it, and said: “O Allah! (Is it) Halah?” Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I felt jealous and said, “Do you remember an old woman from the Quraysh, whose gums had become red (after her teeth had fallen out), who died long ago, and Allah has given you someone better than her in her place?”
