21.2 Continuation of His صلى الله عليه وسلم Family
Zaynab bint Jahsh رضي الله عنھا
Then the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم married Zaynab bint Jahshin from the tribe Banu Asad ibn Khuzayma, she is also his cousin from his paternal aunt Umayma. In her regard, the following verse was revealed: “So when Zayd had no longer any need for her (divorced her), We married her to you…” al-Ahzab:37 With this she used to boast to the other wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: “you were all married off by your families, whilst Allah married me off from above the seven heavens.”
From those things special about her, Allah was her guardian and gave her away in marriage, she passed away in the beginning of ‘Umar ibn AlKhattāb’s caliphate. She initially was married to Zayd ibn Hāritha whom the Prophet had adopted. When Zayd divorced her Allah married her to the Prophet to show the Ummah the permissibility of marrying the former wives of your adopted children.
Umm Habeebah رضي الله عنھا
He صلى الله عليه وسلم then married Umm Habeebah, Ramlah bint Abi Sufyān Sakhr ibn Harb Al-Qurashiyyah Al-Amawiyyah, he married her while she was in Abyssinia as a migrant, the king Najāshi payed her dowry of four hundred Dinār, she was then escorted to the Messenger from there. She passed way
during the rule of her brother Mu’āwiyah رضي الله عنھ.
Safiyyah رضي الله عنھا
He صلى الله عليه وسلم then married Safiyyah bint Huyayyi ibn Akhtab head of the tribe Banu An-Nadeer from the descendants of Hārun ibn ‘Imrān the brother of Musa, therefore she was the daughter of a prophet and the wife of a prophet. She was one of the most beautiful women, she had become a captive so he freed her and made this her dowry which then became a practice of Sunnah.
