Companions (ra) of the Holy Prophet (sas) had great respect for Hazrat Umme Ummaarah (ra) and used to call her, “The Woman of Uhud.” Once during the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar (ra), precious clothing items were compiled as booty from war. One of these items was an exquisitely embroidered shawl. When it was time to distribute the booty, Hazrat Umar (ra) asked the audience who deserved that shawl the most. Some people suggested that the shawl be given to Abdullah’s (ra) wife. Hazrat Umar (ra) considered this suggestion for a while and then said, “No! I will gift this shawl to Umme Ummaarah (ra). She deserves it most because after the Battle of Uhud, I heard the Holy Prophet (sas) say, on the day of Uhud, I saw Umme Ummaarah (ra) fighting by my side, left, right and center.’” Hazrat Umar (ra) then sent the shawl to Hazrat Umme Ummaarah (ra) who was living her last days in a house in Madinah.
