حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ، وَالْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، أَخْبَرَاهُ ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، يُخْبِرُ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، أَنَّهَا لَمَّا قَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُمْ أَنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ فَكَذَّبُوهَا ، وَيَقُولُونَ : مَا أَكْذَبَ الْغَرَائِبَ ! حَتَّى أَنْشَأَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمُ الْحَجَّ ، فَقَالُوا : تَكْتُبِينَ إِلَى أَهْلِكِ ؟ فَكَتَبَتْ مَعَهُمْ ، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يُصَدِّقُونَهَا ، فَازْدَادَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَرَامَةً ، قَالَتْ : فَلَمَّا وَضَعْتُ زَيْنَبَ جَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَخْطُبُنِي ، فَقُلْتُ : مِثْلِي تُنْكَحُ ؟ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا وَلَدَ فِيَّ ، وَأَنَا غَيْرَى ذَاتُ عِيَالٍ ، قَالَ : أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْكِ ، وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ فَيُذْهِبُهَا اللهُ ، وَأَمَّا الْعِيَالُ ، فَإِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ، فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَجَعَلَ يَأْتِيهَا فَيَقُولُ : أَيْ زُنَابُ ، حَتَّى جَاءَ عَمَّارٌ فَاخْتَلَجَهَا ، فَقَالَ : هَذِهِ تَمْنَعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَكَانَتْ تُرْضِعُهَا ، فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ زُنَابُ ؟ فَقَالَتْ قَرِيبَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَوَافَقَهَا عِنْدَهَا : أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ يَاسِرٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنِّي آتِيكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ ، قَالَتْ : فَوَضَعْتُ ثِيَابِي فَأَخْرَجْتُ حَبَّاتٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَتْ فِي جَرَّتِي وَأَخْرَجْتُ شَحْمًا فَعَصَدْتُ لَهُ ، قَالَتْ : فَبَاتَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ ، فَقَالَ حِينَ أَصْبَحَ : إِنَّ لَكِ عَلَى أَهْلِكِ كَرَامَةً ، إِنْ شِئْتِ سَبَّعْتُ لَكِ ، وَإِنْ أُسَبِّعْ لَكِ أُسَبِّعْ لِنِسَائِي .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when she emigrated and came to Madinah, she told the people that she was the daughter of Abu Umayyah bin al-Mughirah (a well-known chief of Makkah), but the people did not accept what she said, and they would say: "How much strangers lie!" Then, when some people set out for Makkah intending Hajj, they asked her: "Would you like to write a letter to your family?" So she wrote and sent a letter to her family with them. When those people returned from Hajj to Madinah, they confirmed her (Sayyidah Umm Salamah's, may Allah be pleased with her) lineage, and her standing and honour in the people's eyes increased further. She relates: When I gave birth to Zaynab (my daughter), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me with a proposal of marriage. I said: "Would a woman like me be married? I am no longer of that age (or: to one like me, who has children), I am very jealous, and I have dependants." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am older than you. As for jealousy, Allah Almighty will remove it; and as for the dependants, their responsibility is entrusted to Allah and His Messenger." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her. After that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would come to her and say (showing affection for the child): "Where is Zunab?" Once Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) came and took the child (from her lap) and said: "This girl is keeping the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) away (from his wife)," and at that time she was nursing her. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) came, he asked: "Where is Zunab?" Sayyidah Qaribah bint Abi Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was present there, said: "Ibn Yasir (Sayyiduna Ammar, may Allah be pleased with him) has taken her." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will come to you tonight." Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I set my clothes in order, took out some grains of barley and some fat from my jar, and prepared food for him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) spent that night with me, and in the morning he said: "You have great honour and esteem with your husband. Now, if you wish, I will stay with you for seven days; but if I set aside seven days for you, then I will have to stay seven days with each of all my other wives."
