Umm Ruman

Zaynab bint ʿĀmir ibn ʿUwaymir ibn ʿAbd Shams ibn ʿAttāb al-Farāsīyya al-Kinānīyya, known by her kunya "Umm Rūmān" was among the followers or companions of Muhammad. She was a wife of Abu Bakr and the mother of Aisha, which made her the mother-in-law of the Prophet of Islam.

Biography

Zaynab was the daughter of Amir ibn Uwaymir, a member of the Al-Harith ibn Ghanam clan of the Kinana tribe. She married twice. First, she became the second wife of al-Ḥārith ibn Sakhbarah of the Azd tribe. Zaynab and al-Ḥārith had a son together, Tufayl ibn al-Harith.
The family migrated to Mecca, where al-Harith became an ally of Abu Bakr. Soon afterwards, Al-Harith died, leaving Tufayl and his widowed mother completely dependent on Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr then married Umm Ruman around 601 CE. They had two children together: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and Aisha.
Umm Ruman emigrated to Medina in 622, accompanied by her daughter Aisha and also by her stepchildren Asma and Abd [Allah ibn Abi Bakr|Abd Allah].
Ibn Sa'd states that Umm Ruman died in Medina in April/May 628. However, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani places her death in 630.
