Muhammad ﷺ accepted with the approval of his uncle Abu Talib. Their marriage was a profound union of mutual love, spiritual companionship, and steadfast loyalty lasting 25 years until her passing. She gave birth to all his children except Ibrahim (whose mother was Mariyah al-Qibtiyyah). He did not marry anyone else during her lifetime.
