Zaynab bint Khuzayma, may Allah be pleased with her, was married
to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Ramadan, 4 AH, soon
after his marriage to Hafsa when he was fifty-six years old and she was thirty
years old. After she had been made a widow when her husband was martyred at
Badr, she offered herself in marriage to the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) who accepted her proposal and married her. Zaynab bint
Khuzayma was so generous to orphans and the poor that she came to be known as
the 'Mother of the Poor'. She died only eight months after her marriage, may
Allah be pleased with her, and although not a great deal is known about her
today, there will be many who will testify to her generosity on the Last
Day.
