The questioner:
Umm Khalid, the daughter of Khalid ibn Sa'id ibn al-As, and her name was Ummah, with the hamzah and the mīm open and light. She was known by her son, Khalid ibn al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam. Al-Zubayr had married her, and she bore him Khalid and 'Amr. Ibn Sa'd mentioned that she was born in Abyssinia and came with her father after Khaybar, and she was of sound mind.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
And Ibn Sa'd reported through the route of Abu al-Aswad al-Madani that she said: I was among those who greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the Negus. Her father had embraced Islam early, as the third of three or the fourth of four. He was martyred in Sham during the caliphate of Abu Bakr or 'Umar. This is the biography.

Beautiful. May Allah reward you with good. Yes.
