- ◈She is the wife of Hadrat Uthman ibn Affan (radi Allahu anhu), the third Caliph of Islam — giving Hadrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) the unique distinction of being the only person in creation to have married two daughters of a Prophet, earning him the title Zul-Noorain (Possessor of Two Lights)

“She is the most superior of my daughters (in this regard) because she faced many difficulties in migrating to me”— the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
(Sharh Al-Zurqani ala al-Mawahib al-Ladunniyyah, vol. 4, p. 318; Al-Mustadrak, vol. 2, p. 565, Hadith 2866)

During the Battle of Badr, Sayyidah Ruqayyah (radi Allahu anha) was extremely ill. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told Hadrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) to remain behind and attend to her. As the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had been granted authority in legislation, he informed Hadrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) that he would receive the same reward as those fighting in the battle, and he was given a share of the spoils of war
Sayyidah Ruqayyah (radi Allahu anha) passed away when news of the Muslims' victory at Badr reached Madinah. Hadrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) wept a lot when she passed away and went to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am no longer your son-in-law.' The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then announced: 'Angel Jibril (peace be upon him) told me that Allah commanded me to wed my daughter Umm Kulthum to you, upon the condition that you give the same dowry you gave to Ruqayyah and you treat her the same way you treated Ruqayyah'
After this, Hadrat Umm Kulthum and Hadrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) married, and there is no one else who has married two daughters of a Prophet
Her son with Hadrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was named Sayyiduna Abdullah. He passed away in 4 AH at the age of six
