[edit] Info
Sawada bint Zama
Sawda bint Zama was the wife of prophet Muhammad. According to some traditions, she was 50-year old widow living with her father when Muhammad married her. Earlier she had migrated to Abyssinia (Ethiopia) with her husband, who died there. After the death of Khadija (Muhammad's first wife), Khaulah bint Hakim suggested to him that he needed some affectionate companion who could also look after his children. She proposed Sawda, who was also in need of help.
Tabari reports that Muhammad married Sawda after the death of Khadija and before he married Aisha. When she became very old, she gave her turn (of a visit of the Prophet) to Aisha. Aisha reported that Sawda bint Zama gave up her turn to her, and so the Prophet used to give Aisha both her day and the day of Sawda. (Bukhari and Muslim). She died in the last year of 'Umar's caliphate.

[edit] title in the article's lead
the link is *not* in "the bold reiteration of the title in the article's lead" because you split the title in two, which WP:MOS doesn't allow either. Please split neither hairs nor titles. --tickle me 15:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Could you show me more exactly were that is stated? Its a lot of text, and most of it is not related to our issue. Thanks. --Striver 16:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction
At some point, Sawda succeeded in persuading Muhammad not to divorce her. Muhammad favored young Aisha over old Sawda, but the latter stopped him in the street and implored him to take her back. (Puntori 10:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC))
