2881. Narrated Tha'labā bin Abī Mālik: 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ distributed some garments amongst the women of Al-Madīna. One good garment remained, and one of those present with him said, "O chief of the believers! Give this garment to your wife, the (grand) daughter of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." They meant Umm Kulthūm, the daughter of 'Alī. 'Umar said, "Umm Salīḥ has more right (to have it). Umm Salīḥ was amongst those Ansārī women who had given the Bai'a (pledge) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." 'Umar said, "She (i.e., Umm Salīḥ) used to carry the water-skins to provide us water on the day of Uḥud."

2881 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ ثَعْلَبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مَالِكٍ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَسَمَ مُرُوطًا بَيْنَ نِسَاءٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ المَدِينَةِ، فَبَقِيَ مِرْطٌ جَيِّدٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ: يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ، أَعْطِ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي عِنْدَكَ، يُرِيدُونَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ عَلِيٍّ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: «أُمُّ سَلِيطٍ أَحَقُّ، وَأُمُّ سَلِيطٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الأَنْصَارِ، مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: «فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَزْفِرُ لَنَا القِرَبَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ»، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: " تَزْفِرُ: تَخِيطُ "
