Biography of the Companions
Umm Kulthum bint Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt was a noble Companion of the Prophet ﷺ from the Quraysh tribe. She was known for her extraordinary beauty, intelligence, love for knowledge, and her remarkable courage in embracing Islam during its most challenging early days.
She was a slave belonging to Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul. In that era, a slave was owned both in soul and body. Her master sought to force her into adultery for profit, but she refused and sought the Prophet's help. The Qur'an was then revealed, prohibiting the coercion of women, whether free or enslaved, into such sins.
When Fatima bint Asad passed away, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ took off his shirt and used it as her shroud. He descended into her grave, digging and widening it with his own hands. He emerged with tears in his eyes and prayed for her, asking Allah to resurrect her clothed, as she was shrouded in the shirt of the Prophet ﷺ.
