2877, 2878. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ went to the daughter of Milhān and reclined there (and slept) and then (woke up) smiling. She asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! What makes you smile?" He replied, "(In a dream I saw) some people amongst my followers were sailing on the green sea in Allāh's Cause, resembling kings on thrones." She said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Invoke Allāh to make me one of them." Then he (slept again and woke up and) smiled. She asked him the same question and he gave the same reply. She said, "Invoke Allāh to make me one of them." He replied, "You will be amongst the first group of them; you will not be amongst the last." Later on she married 'Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣamit and then she sailed on the sea with bint Qaraza, Mu'awiya's wife (for Jihād). On her return, she mounted her riding animal, which threw her down breaking her neck, and she died on falling down.

2877 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ هُوَ الفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ مِلْحَانَ، فَاتَّكَأَ عِنْدَهَا، ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ فَقَالَتْ: لِمَ تَضْحَكُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ: «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَرْكَبُونَ البَحْرَ الأَخْضَرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، مَثَلُهُمْ مَثَلُ المُلُوكِ عَلَى الأَسِرَّةِ»، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا مِنْهُمْ»، ثُمَّ عَادَ فَضَحِكَ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مِثْلَ - أَوْ مِمَّ - ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَتْ: ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: «أَنْتِ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ، وَلَسْتِ مِنَ الآخِرِينَ»، قَالَ: قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَتَزَوَّجَتْ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَرَكِبَتِ البَحْرَ مَعَ بِنْتِ قَرَظَةَ، فَلَمَّا قَفَلَتْ: رَكِبَتْ دَابَّتَهَا، فَوَقَصَتْ بِهَا، فَسَقَطَتْ عَنْهَا، فَمَاتَتْ
