Her name and lineage
Zainab (Radi’Allahu Anha) was the daughter of Khuzaimah, son of Abdullah.  Since she used to feed the destitute with great love and care, she became known as ‘Mother of the Destitute’.

Marriage to the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
Her first marriage was to Abdullah, son of Jahash, who was martyred in the Battle of Uhud.  The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) married her in the same year of Abdullah’s martyrdom.

Her Death
She lived with the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) for two to three months before she died.  After the sad demise of Hazrat Khadijah (Radi’Allahu Anha), Zainab (Radi’Allahu Anha) was the second wife to die during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Her funeral prayer was led by the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) himself and she was buried in the famous graveyard called Jannat-ul-Baqi.  She was only 30 years old.
