He was the son of Umar ibn al-Khattab and Umm Kulthum bint Ali. He was killed while trying to bring peace to his clan of
Banu Adi. He left no descendants. Ali protested that she had not yet reached puberty, and the marriage was consummated in November or December 638 (Dhu'l-Qaada 17 AH). They had two children Zayd and Ruqayya. His mother Umm Kulthum gifted some perfume to the
Empress of Byzantium. The Empress sent back a "superb" necklace for Umm Kulthum. Umar believed that his wife should not have conducted a private correspondence at the expense of the state postal service, so he reimbursed her for the cost of the perfume and placed the Empress's necklace in the state treasury. Nevertheless, it was said that Umar treated Umm Kulthum "with extreme honour and respect" because she was Muhammad's granddaughter. ==See also==
