This shows that of Hadrat Khadijah had two daughters before being married to the Prophet
and according to all appearance they would be called his daughters and those to whom they
were married would be called his sons-in-law, but the position of this relationship would be the
same as if those girls were his daughters.
Therefore, before putting it forth as a matter for pride the real status of the daughters should
be noted and a glance should be cast at `Uthman's conduct. In this connection, al-Bukhari and
other narrators (of traditions) and historians record this tradition as follows:
Anas ibn Malik relates that: "We were present on the occasion of the burial of the Prophet's
daughter Umm Kulthum, while the Prophet was sitting beside her grave.
I saw his eyes shedding tears. Then he said, 'Is there any one among you who has not
committed a sin last night?' Abu Talhah (Zayd ibn Sahl al-Ansari) said, 'I', then the Prophet
said, 'Then you get into the grave,' consequently he got down into the grave."
The commentators said about 'committed sin' that the Holy Prophet meant to say 'one who had
not had sexual intercourse
