Umm Sinan al-Aslamiyya

Umm Sinan al-Aslamiyya (may God be pleased with her) was a Companion whom Kahhala in A'lam al-Nisa' calls "a noble striver"; he takes her report from Ibn Sa'd's Tabaqat, al-Isaba, al-Isti'ab and the supplement to al-Tabari's history. ^{1 2}

She came to the Prophet when he meant to set out for Khaybar and said: "Let me go out with you on this journey to stitch the water-skins, tend the sick and the wounded if there are wounds, and watch over the baggage." He gave her leave, saying other women of her people and of others had asked him and he had allowed them, and let her choose to be with her people or with his household; she chose his, and he said, "Be with Umm Salama, my wife." She stayed with her and witnessed the conquest of Khaybar. ^{1 2}

She used to go out with the Prophet to the Friday prayer and the two Eids, and her daughter Thubayta bint Hanzala al-Aslamiyya transmitted from her. ²
