A Short Stay

Zaynab lived with the Prophet ﷺ for only a short time — two or three months by most reports, a few more by others — and then she died, at about thirty years of age. She was the second of his wives to die in his lifetime, after Khadijah.

The Prophet ﷺ prayed over her and she was buried at al-Baqi'. History kept almost nothing else of her: no long sayings, no famous scenes. What it kept was her name, given to her by the poor.
