Death of Umm Kulthum, Daughter of the Prophet

Umm Kulthum, the Prophet's daughter and wife of Uthman ibn Affan, died in the ninth year of Hijrah. She had married Uthman after the death of her sister Ruqayyah. The Prophet wept at her funeral and sat by her grave. He said: 'If I had a third daughter, I would marry her to Uthman.' With her death, only Fatimah remained of the Prophet's daughters. Uthman was deeply grieved, and the Prophet consoled him.
