Ruqayya bint Muhammad

Ruqayya bint Muhammad (Arabic: رقية بنت محمد, romanized: Ruqayya bint Muḥammad; c. 601–March 624) was the second eldest daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and Khadija.

Born in Mecca around 601 or 602 CE, Ruqayya was the 3rd child and the second daughter of Muhammad and Khadija, his first wife, who was also a successful merchant.

[1][2] She was married before August 610 to Utbah ibn Abi Lahab, but the marriage was never consummated.

[9][10] When Usama ibn Zayd was sent on an errand to their house, he found himself staring at her and at Uthman in turns.

She died later in the month, on the day when Zayd ibn Haritha returned to Medina with news of their victory at the Battle of Badr - 17th Ramadan.
