Cikakken Tarihi
Umm Ayman, whose real name was Barakah, was an Abyssinian woman who served in the household of the Prophet's father Abdullah and became the nursemaid who raised the Prophet from infancy. After the death of his mother Aminah, she continued to care for him, earning the title 'my mother after my mother' from the Prophet himself. She emigrated to Medina at an advanced age, walking on foot, and the Prophet honoured her saying anyone wishing to marry a woman of Paradise should marry Umm Ayman.
