Who are the sons-in-law of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who married his daughters?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
had four daughters, all of whom were born from Khadeejah (may Allaah be
pleased with her):1 – Zaynab (may Allaah be pleased with her); she was the
oldest of his daughters. She married Abu’l-‘Aas ibn al-Rabee’ (may Allaah be
pleased with him) and she bore him ‘Ali and Umaamah. She died in 8 AH.2 – Ruqayyah (may Allaah be pleased with her). First she
married her cousin ‘Utbah ibn Abi Lahab, then he divorced her before
consummating the marriage with her, when Allaah revealed the words,
“Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab” [Soorat al-Masad, 111]. Then she
married ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allaah be pleased with him), and she
migrated with him to Abyssinia, then to Madeenah. She fell sick at the time
when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out
for the battle of Badr, and he ordered ‘Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with
him) to stay with her, but he allocated him his share of the booty, and
rewarded him for the battle as if he had been present. When the good news of
the Muslims’ victory at Badr came, they had just finished burying her (may
Allaah be pleased with her). She bore ‘Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with
him) 'Abd-Allaah who died when he was six years old.3 – Umm Kalthoom (may Allaah be pleased with her). First she
married ‘Utaybah ibn Abi Lahab, who divorced her before consummating the
marriage as his brother ‘Utbah did with Ruqayyah (may Allaah be pleased with
her). When Ruqayyah died, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) married Umm Kalthoom to ‘Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him).
She died in 9 AH and did not bear him any children.4 – Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased with her). She was the
youngest of the daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him). She was married to ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib in Safar 2 AH. She bore
him al-Hasan, al-Husayn, Umm Kalthoom and Zaynab. Faatimah (may Allaah be
pleased with her) died six months after the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). She was the first member of his family to
join him, as He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said she
would be.See al-Bidaayah wa’l-Nihaayah by Ibn Katheer, 5/321;
Zaad al-Ma’aad, by Ibn al-Qayyim, 1/100And Allaah knows best.
