Umm Kulthum bt. al-Imam Ali (a): Difference between revisions

'''Umm Kulthūm Kubrā bt. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|اُمّ کُلثُوم کُبری بنت عَليّ بن اَبيطالِب بن عَبدالمُطَّلِب}}) is the fourth child of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] and [[Lady Fatima (a)]], after [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] and [[Zaynab al-Kubra]]. According to historical sources, she married to [['Umar b. al-Khattab]], the second [[Caliph]]. Some scholars believe that she attended in the [[Battle of Karbala]] and her sermons have been quoted in [[Maqtal books]] (narrative accounts of the Battle of Karbala). The ambiguity surrounding her character and denial or approval of some events happening to her is mostly because there were three or four women with the same name and [[kunya]] in the family of Imam 'Ali (a); Umm Kulthum Kubra who was the daughter of Lady Fatima (a), Umm Kulthum Wusta who was the wife of [[Muslim b. 'Aqil]], Umm Kulthum Sughra (Nafisa), and Zaynab Sughra whose Kunya was Umm Kulthum.
