The enormous mahr led to objections to Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr. Thus, he temporarily removed Mus'ab from the government. Mus'ab and Sukayna had a daughter called Fatima who died when she was a child. <ref>After the death of their husbands, Imam al-Husayn's daughters were proposed for marriage by Umayyad rulers.
