Sahih al-Bukhari 2881
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ ثَعْلَبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مَالِكٍ إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَسَمَ مُرُوطًا بَيْنَ نِسَاءٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَبَقِيَ مِرْطٌ جَيِّدٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعْطِ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّتِي عِنْدَكَ. يُرِيدُونَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ عَلِيٍّ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أُمُّ سَلِيطٍ أَحَقُّ. وَأُمُّ سَلِيطٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الأَنْصَارِ، مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. قَالَ عُمَرُ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَزْفِرُ لَنَا الْقِرَبَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تَزْفِرُ تَخِيطُ.
Thaʿlaba bin Abi Malik reported: Umar bin al-Khattab distributed garments among the women of Medina, and one fine cloak remained. Someone present said: “Commander of the Faithful, give this to the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who is with you”—meaning Umm Kulthum, daughter of Ali. Umar replied: “Umm Sulayt has a greater right to it.” Umm Sulayt was one of the Ansar women who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Umar said: “She used to sew water skins for us on the day of Uhud.” Abu Abd Allah explained that the word means “she sews.”
Translation notes
The source gloss specifies that Umm Sulayt sewed the water skins; this clarification is included.
