Historical Account
marriage. It is for this very reason that Ḥaḍrat ‘Uthmānra is known as DhunNurain, i.e., the possessor of two lights. This was the second marriage of Ummi Kulthūmra, because in the beginning, her sister Ruqayyahra and her were married to the two sons of Abū Lahab, the paternal uncle of the Holy Prophetsa. However, before their Rukhsātanah could be held, this relation was severed on the basis of religious opposition. The Holy Prophetsa gave his daughter Ruqayyah to Ḥaḍrat ‘Uthmānra in marriage first, and then after her demise, married off Ummi Kulthūmra to him as well. It is unfortunate, however, that the progeny of both these daughters did not continue. Ummi Kulthūmra did not have any children at all, and the son of Ruqayyahra, whose name was ‘Abdullāh, passed away at the age of six. The marriage of Ummi Kulthūmra took place in Rabī‘ul-Awwal 2 A.H.
