All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

3) Umm Hakeem bint Al-Haarith bin Hishaam al-Makhzoomiyyah: She gave birth to Faatimah.

4) Jameelah bint 'Aasim ibn Thaabit: She gave birth to 'Aasim.

5) Umm Kulthoom, the daughter of ‘Ali from Faatimah the daughter of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: She gave birth to Zayd and Ruqayyah.

6) Lahiyyah, a woman from Yemen: She gave birth to Abdur-Rahman Al-Asghar.

7) ‘Aatikah bint Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufail. Az-Zubayr ibn Al-‘Awwaam married her after the death of ‘Umar .

Allaah Knows best.
