Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad

Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad (Arabic: أم كلثوم بنت محمد) is viewed by Shi'as, Western scholars and some Sunnis as the daughter of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (see Genealogy of Khadijas daughters). However, some Sunnis argue she was Muhammad's daughter (as it was defended by 8th century early Muslim historian Ibn Ishaq), as she was married to Uthman.

Her first husband was Utaybah bin Abu Lahab and her second was Uthman ibn Affan.

Her other sisters were Ruqayah bint Muhammad, Zainab bint Muhammad and Fatima bint Muhammad.

She died either in 9 AH (630 AD) or around the time of the battle of Badr (624 AD).
