At the time of the Holy Prophet’s (sas) wedding with Hazrat Zainab (ra) in the year 5 Hijri, Hazrat Umme Sulaim (ra) prepared an excellent meat dish and sent a pan full to the Holy Prophet (sas) as a humble gift on the special occasion.1 After the Battle of Khyber in the year 7 Hijri, when the Holy Prophet (sas) got married to Hazrat Safiyyah (ra), Hazrat Umme Sulaim (ra) got her ready as a bride. Hazrat Umme Sulaim (ra) often went to battles and travelled alongside the women of the Holy Prophet’s (sas) family.2
