When was zainab bint jahsh born

Jahsh have narrated hadiths from her. According to a hadith al-Tabari has narrated from the faqihs of Hijaz , the Prophet s passed away in the Zaynab's house. She was the first wife of the Prophet s to pass away after his demise.

Ibn Sa'd [55] and al-Dhahabi [56] narrated that 'Umar banned men who were not her mahrams from participation in her funeral procession carrying the dead body to burial place to preserve her dignity as they would see the shape of her body. However, when Asma' bt. Putting the dead body in coffin for funeral procession was not common in Hijaz at that time, rather they would carry the body on a bier. This way the shape of the dead body was easily noticed as it was only covered by shroud.

For the first time Asma' bt. Zayd , who all were her mahrams , put her in her grave and buried her. On the burial day of Zaynab the weather was very hot that 'Umar ordered to set up a tent over her grave. It is said that it was the first tent set up on a grave in Islam. Her only heritage was a house, which later, during the reign of al-Walid b.

But enter when you are invited, and disperse when you have taken your meal, without settling down to chat. Indeed such conduct torments the Prophet, and he is ashamed of [asking] you [to leave]; but Allah is not ashamed of [expressing] the truth.

And when you ask anything of [his] womenfolk, ask it from them from behind a curtain. That is more chaste for your hearts and their hearts. You may not torment the Apostle of Allah, nor may you ever marry his wives after him. Indeed that would be a grave [matter] with Allah.

Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the faithful to draw closely over themselves their chadors [when going out]. That makes it likely for them to be recognized and not be troubled, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

She continued with this line of work throughout her life, even after she no longer needed the money. The name of her first husband is not known, but he had died by At that time Zaynab, who had become a Muslim, was among those who accompanied her brother Abdullah on the Hijra to Medina.

Around Muhammad proposed to Zaynab that she marry his adopted son, Zayd ibn Harithah. Zayd had been born into the Kalb tribe but as a child he had been kidnapped by slave-traders. He had been sold to a nephew of Khadija bint Khuwaylid, who in her turn had given him as a wedding present to her husband Muhammad. After some years, Muhammad had manumitted Zayd and had adopted him as his son.

Zaynab, supported by her brother Abdullah, at first refused the proposal on the grounds that, "I am the widow of a Quraysh. It has been asserted that these social differences were precisely the reason why Muhammad wanted to arrange the marriage:. It has also been suggested that he wanted to establish the legitimacy and right to equal treatment of the adopted. By contrast, Montgomery Watt points out that Zayd was high in Muhammad's esteem. It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair.

And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error,. Zaynab acquiesced and married Zayd. Muhammad personally paid the dower of dirhams in cash, a cloak and veil, a coat of armour, 50 mudd of grain and 10 mudd of dates. Whether the marriage between Zayd and Zaynab was a mesalliance from the beginning is speculation, though the account maintains that Zayd was not reluctant to divorce his wife and allow her to marry Muhammad.

Muhammad is portrayed as reluctant to proceed with the marriage because of scruples about whether marrying one's adopted son's former wife violated the prohibited degrees of marriage.

Arab customary practice recognized kinship relations not based on blood ties: fosterage having nursed from the same woman was one such relationship; the question whether adoption fell into this category must have been unclear among Muslims. The marriage did not take place until after a Qur'anic revelation was received, giving permission for believers to marry the divorced wives of their adopted sons. However, this story has been vigorously rejected by most Muslim scholars mainly because of its lack of having any chain of narration and its complete absence from any authentic hadith.

Some commentators have found it absurd that Muhammad would suddenly become aware of Zaynab's beauty one day after having known her all her life; if her beauty had been the reason for Muhammad to marry her, he would have married her himself in the first place rather than arranging her marriage to Zayd. He divorced her in December Muhammad expected criticism if he married Zaynab. Pre-Islamic custom disapproved of marriage between a man and his son's former wife.

Arab society would have viewed this union as profoundly wrong; because they considered an adopted son was truly a "son", for a man to marry his adopted son's wife - even if she was divorced - was considered incestuous.

Therefore, he "hid in his heart" the idea that he might marry her. This internal conflict is mentioned in the Qur'an :. Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favour: "Retain thou in wedlock thy wife, and fear Allah.

Then when Zaid had dissolved his marriage with her, with the necessary formality , We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that in future there may be no difficulty to the Believers in the matter of marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary formality their marriage with them. And Allah's command must be fulfilled. The wives of the adopted sons were in the same position as that of real daughter-in-laws. It was therefore not considered to bring them under their marriages.

Allah S. The Holy Prophet pbuh , by taking the existing problem of not marrying the widow of the adopted sons into consideration and was much worried as to how the people would feel if he pbuh marries with Zainab RA.

In the meantime Allah S. Then when Zaid had dissolved his marriage with her with the necessary formality We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that in future there may be no difficulty to the Believers in the matter of marriage with the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have dissolved with the necessary formality their marriage with them: and Allah's command must be fulfilled.

She said she could not immediately any reply and that she would consult Allah S. She did not even complete her prayer that Allah S. Zainab RA bint Jahash was very much pleased and she gave off all her jewellery to the slave girl.

Thus he entered the category of Ummul-Mumineen. Zainab's RA marriage had certain special features which distinguish her from other wives of the Prophet pbuh. Her 'Nikah' was performed by Allah S. There were no formal gaurdian and the witnesses but the verses of Holy Quran serve this purpose. There was no dowry for this marriage as it was conducted by the command of Allah S.

The old age tradition of not to marrying the wives of the adopted sons was discarded and it was declared that the adopted sons can not be considered as real ones and the widows of them one within the permisible limits of marriage. They should be called by their fathers name, they are "Brothers in Faith". Further Allah S.
