Zaynab or Zainab (Arabic: زينب; died November 624) bint Khuzayma was one of the wives of Muhammad, and therefore a Mother of the Believers (Arabic: "Umm-al-Momineen"). Following her husband's death at the battle of Badr (March 17, 624), Zaynab asked Muhammad to marry her. She died eight months after the marriage.
Kinanah ibn Rabi is the brother-in-law of Zaynab bint Khuzayma.
