Her pedigree is connected by six links with that of A’ameys B. Ssa’ssa’h. She was first the wife of Tofayl B. Alhâreth B. A’bd-ul-Muttalleb. After Tofayl had divorced her, his brother A’bdah B. Alhâreth married her according to one tradition, but according to another it was A’bdullah Hajash Asdy, and when her second husband had departed from this, to the eternal world, the lord of prophecy married her, during the month Ramadzân, in the third year after the exile [A.D. 625]; but she enjoyed that happiness only eight months, because in the month Rabyi’ the second, of the fourth year after the exile, she died: some chroniclers even assert that she was only three months the wife of the prophet—bl., etc. On account of the mercy and kindness she manifested towards destitute persons, she was surnamed ‘the mother of the poor.’
