Volume 4, Book 52, Number 132:
Narrated Tha’laba bin Abi Malik:
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab distributed some garments amongst the women of Medina. One good gar –
ment remained, and one of those present with him said, “O chief of the believers! Give this garment
to your wife, the (grand) daughter of Allah’s Apostle.” They meant Um Kulthum, the daughter of ‘Ali.
‘Umar said, Um Salit has more right (to have it).” Um Salit was amongst those Ansari women who
had given the pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Apostle.’ ‘Umar said, “She (i.e. Um Salit) used to carry the
water skins for us on the day of Uhud.”
