Umm Kulthum bint Ali: Difference between revisions

According to some historical sources, she married 'Umar b. al-Khattab, the second Caliph; however, some Shia sources reject this narrative (while others accept it). Shaykh [[Abbas Qummi]] relates that Umm Kulthum was married to her cousin Muhammad bin Ja’far al-Tayyar, who died leaving her a widow. Since then, she remained attached and dedicated to her brothers [[Hasan B. Ali B. Abi Taleb|Imam Hasan]] and [[Imam Hussain]]. Qummi belives that the episode quoted by Non-Shi’a sources of her alleged marriage with Caliph Umar bin Khattab is nothing but fictitious, and is fabricated with a sole motive to demean the exalted status of [[Ahl Al-Bayt|Ahl al-Bayt]] and applause their enemies.
