Muhammad had never discriminated people around him, though they were black-skin slaves. There are so many stories that show Muhammad really respected his slaves. One of them was Ummu Aiman.
"Ummu Aiman is the mother after my mother" said Mohammad as quoted in 'Mohammad:Chamber of Love'.
Ummu Aiman was a orderly when Aminah died. She took care of Muhammad when he lived with Abdul Muthalib. Even though she was a black slave, Muhammad saw her as family and even called her 'mother'. He always gave her a deeply honor,
Rasulullah and Ummu Aiman was being closer. Hence, the other people tried to get closer to Ummu Aiman in order to get blessing. But Aisha, one of Muhammad's wives, didnt know that both of them were close. She had ever spoke harshly to Ummu Aiman.
It's all happened when Ummu Aiman talked to Mohammad casually, even though she was a slave. She said, "Give me some water."
At that time, Aisha was shocked and got angry. "Why did you talk to him like that?" asked her. Ummu Aiman answered, "I've spent more time with him rather than you."
Muhammad stood immediately and gave her the water, he said "she is right."
