عن محمد بن كعب قال كانت ريحانة مما أفاء الله على رسوله وكانت جميلة وسيمة فلما قتل زوجها وقعت في السبي فخيرها رسول الله ﷺ فاختارت الاسلام فأعتقها وتزوجها وضرب عليها الحجاب فغارت عليه غيرة شديدة فطلقها فشق عليها وأكثرت البكاء فراجعها فكانت عنده حتى ماتت قبل وفاته

الإصابة في تمييز الصحابة لإبن حجر العسقلاني كتاب النساء حفر الألف

From Muhammad ibn Ka’b, who said: Raihana was among those who Allah granted as booty to His Messenger, and she was beautiful and delightful. And when He killed her husband she fell among the prisoners. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) made her choose, and she chose Islam. So He set her free and married her, and made her wear the hijab. And she was intensely protective and jealous over him, so He divorced her. This tore her up and she weeped all the more, so He took her back. She was with him until she died, before his passing.
