Volume 5, Book 59, Number 398:
Narrated Tha'laba bin Abi Malik:
'Umar bin Al-Khattab distributed woolen clothes amongst some women of Medina, and a nice
woolen garment remained. Some of those who were sitting with him, said, "O chief of the believers!
Give it to the daughter of Allah's Apostle who is with you," and by that, they meant Um Kulthum, the
daughter of 'Ali. Umar said, "Um Salit has got more right than she." Um Saht was amongst those An –
sari women who had given the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle . 'Umar added, "She (i.e. Um
Salit) used to carry the filled water skins for us on the day of the battle of Uhud."
