Who among the following is referred to as Umm-Ul-Masakeen?

Explanation

Hazrat Zainab bint Khuzaima (R.A) was one of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She earned the title "Umm-ul-Masakeen" (Mother of the Poor) even before Islam because of her immense compassion, charity, and constant care for the poor and destitute. She was known for feeding the hungry and helping those in need, a reputation that stayed with her throughout her life. She passed away just a few months after her marriage to the Prophet (PBUH).

Good to know

Hazrat Zainab bint Khuzaima (R.A) was from the tribe of Banu Hilal and was previously married to Abdullah bin Jahsh, who was martyred at the Battle of Uhud. The Prophet (PBUH) married her in 3 AH (or 4 AH according to some narrations), and she passed away shortly thereafter, making her one of the two wives of the Prophet (PBUH) who died during his lifetime, the other being Hazrat Khadija (R.A).
