According to some [[Shiite]] scholars, such as [[al-Sayyid Ja'far Murtada al-'Amili]], Zaynab, Ruqayya, and Umm Kulthum were not daughters of the Prophet (s) and Khadija; rather they were all Prophet's (s) step-daughters. | According to some [[Shiite]] scholars, such as [[al-Sayyid Ja'far Murtada al-'Amili]], Zaynab, Ruqayya, and Umm Kulthum were not daughters of the Prophet (s) and Khadija; rather they were all Prophet's (s) step-daughters. | ||
==Her Husband== | |||
Abu al-‘As b. Rabi’ b. ‘Abd al-‘Uzza b. ‘Abd Shams (d. 12th of Dhu al-Hijja), was son of Khadija’s sister (Hala) and was captured by Muslims in the battle of Badr and became Muslim in 6 AH. | |||
They say that previously, when the noble Prophet (a) immigrated to Medina, sent some people to Mecca to bring his daughters to Medina, but Zaynab was locked up by her husband and could not go with them. | |||
==Captivity of Abu l-'As== | ==Captivity of Abu l-'As== | ||
In the [[Battle of Badr]], Abu l-'As attended the army of [[polytheist]]s, and was captivated by Muslims. When people of [[Medina]] asked for ransoms in order to release the captives, Zaynab sent the necklace she had received from Khadija for her marriage. When the Prophet (s) saw the necklace, he was emotionally touched, and with the agreement of Muslims, he released Abu l-'As and returned Zaynab's properties, and asked Abu l-'As to set Zaynab free. When Abu l-'As went back to [[Mecca]], he sent Zaynab, together with some of the Prophet (s)'s companions, to [[Medina]]. | In the [[Battle of Badr]], Abu l-'As attended the army of [[polytheist]]s, and was captivated by Muslims.

==Abu al-‘As Accepting Islam== | |||
In 6 AH, when Abu al-‘As was coming back from his business journey to Sham, agents of the Prophet (a) attacked his caravan and some of them, including him, escaped. Muslims confiscated his properties. He went to Medina at night and sought refuge to his ex-wife, Zaynab. The next day, Zaynab stood up in the middle of the prayer and said, “O everyone! Know that I have sheltered Abu al-‘As.” The Prophet (a) told Muslims that he (a) did not know it. Then, he (a) told Zaynab, “respect him, but do not go to bed with him, because you are not permissible for him.” Then, he (a) told Muslims, “You may free him and his properties if you wish.” So, Muslims freed him and the properties with his caravan. Abu al-‘As went to Mecca and gave people their properties, declared that he became Muslim and returned to Medina. | |||
==Her Immigration to Medina== | |||
After Zaynab’s husband left her free to go to Medina due to the promise he had given to the Prophet (a), Zaynab went to Medina. Tabari said that she met two polytheists. They pushed her and she fell to the ground while she was pregnant. She hit a stone, bled and her child died. Due to this accident, she was wounded and that wound remained with her until the end of her life. | |||
