Zainab bint Muhammad

She married her maternal cousin, Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi', before December 610,[3]: 313–314 [4]: 21 [5]: 162  and Khadija gave her a wedding present of an onyx necklace.

Muhammad had no jurisdiction over Mecca and therefore could not force them to separate, so they continued to live together despite Abu al-As's refusal to convert to Islam.

About a month after the battle, Zainab's adopted brother, Zayd, arrived in Mecca to escort her to Medina.

He said that they had no intention of keeping a woman from her father in revenge for Badr, but that it was wrong of Kinana to humiliate the Quraysh further by parading her removal in public; he must do it quietly, when the "chatter" had died down.

There she suffered a miscarriage, losing a great deal of blood, which she attributed to having been assaulted by Habbar.

[3]: 315  Anas ibn Malik recalled seeing Zainab in Medina wearing a striped silk cloak.

[4]: 24 Zainab did not see her husband again until September or October 627,[4]: 23  when he entered her house in Medina by night, asking for protection.

[3]: 316  The next morning, Zainab sat among the women at dawn prayers and shouted: "I have given protection to Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi!"
