Umm Sulaym was the mother of Anas, whom she had given to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Later she married Abu Talhah.

❝ Hadith
A son of Abu Talhah was ill. While Abu Talhah was away, the boy died. Umm Sulaym told the household: let no one tell Abu Talhah until I tell him myself. When he came home she served him food and looked after him. Then she said: Abu Talhah, if people lend something to a family and then ask for it back, may they keep it from them? He said: no. She said: then hope for Allah's reward for your son. When Abu Talhah later told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he prayed for blessing on that night — and another child was born to them.
