Sawda bint Zam'a

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Sawda bint Zam'a, Mother of the Believers, one of the first women to migrate to Abyssinia; the Prophet ﷺ married her in Shawwal of the prophethood's tenth year after Khadija's death, the first woman to enter his house after her.

Sawda bint Zam'a ibn Qays al-Amiriyya, Mother of the Believers; one of the first migrants to Abyssinia with her husband al-Sakran ibn Amr, who died after they returned to Mecca. The Prophet married her in Shawwal of the prophethood's tenth year after Khadija's death. She was the first woman to enter the Prophet ﷺ's house after Khadija, looking after his daughters and his household; she lived until Umar's or Mu'awiya's caliphate, and gave her day to Aisha when she grew old.
