Zaynab bint Khuzayma

Zaynab bint Khuzayma ( 596 – 625), also known as Umm al-Masākīn (, "Mother of the Poor"), was the fifth wife of Muhammad. As a result of her early death, less is known about her than about his other wives. Early life Zaynab was the first of Muhammad’s wives who was not from the Quraysh tribe. Her father, Khuzayma ibn al-Harith, was from the Hilal tribe in Mecca. Her mother is sometimes said to have been Hind bint Awf, but this tradition is weak. Her first husband was her cousin, Jahm ibn ‘Amr ibn al-Harith. While Zaynab was still a polytheist, she acquired a reputation for extreme generosity. "She was called 'Mother of the Beggars' because of her kindness to them and her pity for them."
