Marriage & Children
Zainab was married to her maternal cousin Abu al-Aas ibn al-Rabiah. She became the mother of two children: Ali and Umamah. Ali died during the lifetime of Muhammad. This same Ali was reported to have been the person who sat with Muhammad on the camel's back at the time of his triumphant entry into Mecca. Umamah, who as a little girl rode on her grandfather Muhammad's back as he prostrated in salat, lived long after his death. Ali 'ibn Abi Talib married Umamah on the death of Fatimah, his first wife.
