Umm Salama: Difference between revisions

After [[Abu Salama]], [['Abd Allah b. 'Abd al-Asad]] passed away in [[4]]/625-626 due to a wound from the [[Battle of Uhud]], Umm Salama married the Prophet (s). Before, the Prophet (s) asked Umm Salama for marriage, [[Abu Bakr]] and then [['Umar b. Khattab|'Umar]] did, but she did not accept. Then, the Prophet (s) asked her for marriage and she accepted. Umm Salama had virtues which made [['A'isha]] envious and upset.

After 'Uthman's murder, when [[Talha b. 'Ubayd Allah|Talha]] and [[Zubayr b. al-'Awwam|Zubayr]] went to [[Mecca]] and encouraged [['A'isha]] to wage war against [[Ali (a)]], 'A'isha too wanted to incite Umm Salama to participate in such a war, but she did not accept it and prohibited 'A'isha from that.

When she was disappointed from stopping 'A'isha, informed Imam Ali (a) about the intentions of the Companions of Jamal ('A'isha, Talha, and Zubayr) and sent her son [['Umar b. Abi Salama]] to him. Later, Imam Ali (a) appointed this man as the governor of [[Bahrain]], then the governor of [[Fars]], and in another account, as the governor of [[Hulwan]], Mah, and Masbadhan.
