Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) married the daughter of Khuzaima, Hadhrat Zainub (radhiAllahu anha), after he had married Hadhrat Hafsa (radhiAllaahu anha). She was an extremely generous and charitable person. Even before Islaam, she was known as “Ummul Miskeen” (mother of the poor). She was first married to Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Jahsh (radhiAllaahu anhu). When he was martyred in the battle of Uhud, Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) married her. Regarding her first husband, some Ulama have another opinion, Ibn Kalbi mentions that her first husband was Tufail bin Haarith (radhiAllaahu anhu), and after her gave her Talaaq (divorce), his brother Ubaida bin Haarith (radhiAllaahu anhu) married her. He was martyred in the battle of Badr. Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) married her in the 3rd year A.H. She stayed with Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) for 8 months after the Nikah and passed away in Rabi-uth-Thaani 4 A.H. It has also been reported that she remained in Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)’s nikah for 3 months and passed away thereafter.
All the historians agree in this that Hadhrat Zainub binti Khuzaima (radhiAllaahu anha) passed away during the lifetime of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and she was the first of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)’s wives to pass away in Madinah Munawwarah.
