Which two daughters of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were successively married to Uthman ibn Affan (RA)?

ARuqayyah and Umm Kulthum
BUmm Kulthum and Zainab
CZainab and Fatimah
DFatimah and Ruqayyah

Explanation

– Ruqayyah and, following her death, Umm Kulthum were successively married to Uthman ibn Affan (RA), leading to his honorific title Dhun-Nurayn, meaning ‘possessor of the two lights.’
– Ruqayyah’s earlier migration to Abyssinia alongside her husband reflected the family’s shared commitment to the early Muslim community during a period of significant persecution.
– For exams, remember that Ruqayyah passed away around the time of the Battle of Badr, after which Uthman (RA) subsequently married her sister, Umm Kulthum.
