3352. It was narrated from Umm Ḥabībah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ married her when she was in Ethiopia. An-Najāshī performed the marriage for her and gave her a dowry of four thousand, and he fitted her out from his own wealth, and sent her with Shurāḥbīl bin Hasanah. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not send her anything, and the dowry of his wives was four hundred Dirhams. (Da'if)
3350 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، تَزَوَّجَهَا وَهِيَ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ، زَوَّجَهَا النَّجَاشِيُّ، وَأَمْهَرَهَا أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، وَجَهَّزَهَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، وَبَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ شُرَحْبِيلَ ابْنِ حَسَنَةَ، وَلَمْ يَبْعَثْ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ، وَكَانَ مَهْرُ نِسَائِهِ أَرْبَعَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ»

'She was in Ethiopia': In reality, she had emigrated to Ethiopia along with her husband Ubaidullah bin Jahsh. A little later, Ubaidullah bin Jahsh became a Christian, and died in the state of apostasy. Umm Habibah remained constant in Islam. When Allâh's Messenger ﷺ came to know about the course of events, he sent 'Amr bin Umayyah Ad-Dhamari to An-Najâshî, the emperor of Ethiopia, with his marriage proposal to her.
