Death of Ruqayyah, Daughter of the Prophet

Ruqayyah, the Prophet's daughter and wife of Uthman ibn Affan, died in Medina during the Battle of Badr. She had been gravely ill, and Uthman stayed behind to care for her on the Prophet's orders. News of the Muslim victory at Badr reached Medina on the same day as her burial. The Prophet later gave his other daughter Umm Kulthum in marriage to Uthman, earning him the title 'Dhun-Nurayn' (Possessor of Two Lights) for marrying two daughters of the Prophet.
