Umamah bint Abu al-Ash, the granddaughter of the Prophet

Umamah bint Abu al-Ash was one of the beloved grandchildren of the Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallam. He once carried him when praying. So that we also know the procedure for prayer while carrying a baby. Here is a brief account of this prophet's family.

Nasab

Umamah is the daughter of Abu al-Ash bin ar-Rabi 'bin Abdu al-Uzza bin Abdu ash-Shams bin Abdu Manaf bin Qushay. His mother was Zainab the daughter of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Umamah was the first grandson of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. So naturally he is called the beloved of the Prophet. As generally a grandfather gets his first grandchild.

From the nasab side, surely Umamah has the best nasab. He was born from the best family. His noblest grandfather of man. And his grandmother, the First Believer, Khadija radhiallahu ‘anha, is also the best woman in the world and the hereafter. And his mother is the eldest daughter of the Prophet.

While his father, Abu al-Ash, was a Meccan man who was known to have noble character. He was also called al-amin (who was honest and trustworthy) by the people of Mecca. An honest trader. Fulfill the rights of others. He was very respectful and in love with his father-in-law, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Evidenced by the frequent visits to his father-in-law's house because of respect for him. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam praised him in front of the Companions:

حَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي ، وَوَعَدَنِي فَأَوْفَى لِي ...

"He told me honestly. And fulfill his promise to me ... "(Muttafaqun‘ alaih: al-Bukhari No.2943 and Muslim No. 2449).

Umamah's position in the heart of the Prophet

Umamah is the beloved grandson of the Prophet. He sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallam had prayed while carrying Umamah bint Abu al-Ash on his shoulder. When bowing, he put it down. When standing, he carried back (ath-Thabaqat al-Kubra Cet. Al-‘Alamiyah 8/23).

It is narrated from Ummul Mu'minin Ayesha radhiallahu ‘that in fact the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam was once given a necklace by a woman. Don't say,

لَأَدْفَعَنَّهَا إِلَى أَحَبِّ أَهْلِي إِلَيَّ

"I will give this gift to my family that I love the most."

Ayesha went with him. Then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam called Umamah the daughter of Zainab, and held the gift around his neck (al-Isti'ab fi Ma'rifati al-Ash-hab 4/1789. History of Ahmad in his Musnad 6/101. Shaykh Syu'aib al -Arnauth commented on: sanadnya dhaif).

From the Ummah Believers Ayesha radhiallahu ha anha, he told me that an-Najasyi gave a gift to the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam jewelry. Among the jewelry is a gold ring. He took the ring and sent it to his daughter Zainab. He said,

تَحَلِّي بِهَذَا يَا بُنَيَّةُ "

"Decorate with this O my grandson." (Thabaqat al-Kubra Cet. Al-ami Alamiyah 8/186. Sunan Abu Dawud No.4235, 2/493, celebrated by al-Albani).

Umamah wears it too. And enjoy the love, attention, and gentleness of his grandfather.

Umamah Marriage


Fatimah bint Rasulullah radhiallahu ‘anha -bibi Umamah- had the intention that Ali bin Abu Talib married Umamah after his death. After Fatimah died, Ali married Umamah. After Ali's death, Umamah was married to az-Zubair bin al-Awwam then al-Mughirah bin Naufal radhiallahu ‘anhuma.

He has no offspring from his marriage. So that the Prophet's daughter Zainab did not have grandchildren (al-Isti'ab fi Ma’rifati al-Ash-hab 4/1789).

His death

Umamah bint Abu al-Ash radhiallahu wa had died when he was the wife of al-Mughirah bin Naufal ibn al-Harith radhiallahu ‘anhu. And historical references do not mention details about his death.

The Mandatory Bathing Method for the Right Woman According to Islam

The Law of Eating Food for the Rest of Others in Islam

On the previous occasion, we have briefly reviewed some of the ways of eating the Prophet, one of which is to spend the remaining food on a plate or tray where you eat. Spending the rest of the food actually has its own philosophy of appreciating the blessings given by Allah SWT. Islam forbids his people from wasting the sustenance obtained. And therefore, as Muslims we must respect every drop of water and every seed of food that is available by not wasting the food or drink and using it for a positive purpose. The rewards that we give to food or drink are actually a form of our gratitude for God's favor. Therefore in one of the narrations of the Prophet sallallaahu ahu alaihi wasallam always licked the leftover food stuck to the fingers of his hand. From Jabir bin ‘Abdillah he said that the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wasallam said, "Don't sweep his hand with a napkin before he licks his finger. Because he doesn't know which food brings blessings. "(Narrated by M...
