Zaynab bint Jahsh's Stipend and her Prayer

عطاء زينب بنت جحش ودعاؤها

When the stipends issued Umar sent Zaynab bint Jahsh (may God be pleased with her) hers; 'God forgive Umar — my sisters were worthier of sharing this than I' — 'it is all yours' — she veiled it with cloth, had Barza bint Rafi' take fistfuls to her kinsfolk and orphans till five hundred and eighty remained beneath, and prayed: 'God, let no stipend of Umar's reach me past this year' — and she died. Ibn Shihab's register: twelve thousand to the consummated wives, six each to Juwayriya and Safiyya as fay'-born, five thousand to Muhajir Badris, four to Ansari Badris, sarih and halif and mawla equal; Mus'ab ibn Sa'd's: six thousand Badris, ten thousand the mothers, Aisha plus two thousand for the Prophet ﷺ's love; and of their five Ajam, Tamim al-Dari (may God be pleased with him) and Bilal. 'If I live to next year I will set the humblest Muhajirun at two thousand'.
