رَضِيَ 2799, 2800. Narrated Anas bin Mālik: الله عَنَّهُ Umm Ḥarām said, “Once the Prophet ﷺ slept in my house near to me and got up smiling. I said, ‘What makes you smile?’ He replied, ‘Some of my followers who (in a dream) were displayed before me sailing on this green sea like kings on thrones.’ I said, ‘O Allāh's Messenger! Invoke Allāh to make me one of them.’” So the Prophet ﷺ invoked Allāh for her and went to sleep again. He did the same (i.e., got up and told his dream) and Umm Ḥarām repeated her question and he gave the same reply. She said, “Invoke Allāh to make me one of them.” He said, “You are among the first batch.” Later on, it happened that she went out in the company of her husband ‘Ubadā bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit who went for Jihād, and it was the first time the Muslims undertook a naval expedition led by Mu‘āwiya. When the expedition came to an end and they were returning to Sham, a riding animal was presented to her to ride, but the animal let her fall and thus she died.

2799 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ خَالَتِهِ أُمِّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ، قَالَتْ: نَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا قَرِيبًا مِنِّي، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ يَتَبَسَّمُ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَضْحَكَكَ؟ قَالَ: «أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ يَرْكَبُونَ هَذَا البَحْرَ الأَخْضَرَ كَالْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الأَسِرَّةِ» قَالَتْ: فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا لَهَا، ثُمَّ نَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَهَا، فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهَا، فَأَجَابَهَا مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَتْ: ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ: «أَنْتِ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ»، فَخَرَجَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ غَازِيًا أَوَّلَ مَا رَكِبَ المُسْلِمُونَ البَحْرَ مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا مِنْ غَزْوِهِمْ قَافِلِينَ، فَنَزَلُوا الشَّأْمَ، فَقُرِّبَتْ إِلَيْهَا دَابَّةٌ لِتَرْكَبَهَا، فَصَرَعَتْهَا، فَمَاتَتْ
