Ummul Banin in the Sight of Ahlul Bayt (a.s)

Ummul Banin had full knowledge of the actual standings and heavenly ranks of the Ahl-ul-Bayt; therefore, she performed her duty towards them so perfectly. Historians have recorded that when she was carried to her husband's house, al-Hasan and al-Hussein were sick. As soon as she noticed it, she, willingly, went on caressing them, using the nicest language. Since that moment, she went on treating them so kindly. From this cause, she could occupy a great position in the sight of the Ahl-ul-Bayt who had great regard for her, especially for her unique situation of loyalty for Imam al-Hussein (a.s.).

As soon as she was back home after the tragedy of Karbala, Zeinab, daughter of Imam Ali, visited Umm-ul-Banin to console her for the martyrdom of her four sons. Moreover, Zeinab used to visit her on the Eids.1

Umm-ul-Banin gave birth to four sons; al-Abbas, Abdullah, Jafar, and Uthman. After the death of Imam Ali, she did not marry again until she died.
