Who are the children of Sawdah bint Zamʿah by Sakran ibn ʿAmr?
Sawdah bint Zamʿah, may Allah be pleased with her, had five or six children from her husband, Sakran ibn ʿAmr, before her marriage to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Imam Ahmad and al-Tabarani narrated the story of the Prophet's proposal to her, and Sawdah informed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that her reason for hesitation was her concern that her children would cause disturbance to him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then informed her that the best women who rode camels were the righteous women of Quraysh, because they were the most affectionate towards their children in their infancy and the most caring towards their husbands with their own hands. The names of her children have not been definitively identified.
