5-ZAYNAB bint Khuzayma
Zaynab bint Khuzayma, may Allah be
pleased with her, was married to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) in Ramadan, 4 AH, soon after his marriage to Hafsa when he was
fifty-six years old and she was thirty years old. After she had been made a
widow when her husband was martyred at Badr, she offered herself in marriage to
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who accepted her proposal
and married her. Zaynab bint Khuzayma was so generous to orphans and the poor
that she came to be known as the 'Mother of the Poor'. She died only eight
months after her marriage, may Allah be pleased with her, and although not a
great deal is known about her today, there will be many who will testify to her
generosity on the Last Day.
