[4934] 160 - (1912) It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to enter upon Umm Ĥarâm bint Milhân[1] and she would give him food. Umm Ĥarâm was married to 'Ubâdah bin Aş-Sâmît. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered upon her one day and she gave him some food, then she sat and checked his head for lice,[2] and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ slept, then he woke up smiling. She said: "I said: 'Why are you smiling, O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'Some people of my Ummah were shown to me, on a campaign in the cause of Allāh, riding on the surface of this sea, kings on throne, or like kings on thrones.'" - There is some uncertainty as to which he said. - She said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, pray to Allāh to make me one of them.' He prayed for her, then he lay down his head and slept, then he woke up smiling." She said: "I said: 'Why are you smiling O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'Some people of my Ummah have been shown to me, on a campaign in the cause of Allāh,' as he had said the first time. She said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, pray to Allāh to make me one of them.' He said: 'You will be one of the first ones.'" Umm Ḥarām bint Milḥān traveled by sea at the time of Mu'āwiyah,[1] then when she came ashore, she was riding her mount and she was thrown and died.

160 - (1912) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ فَتُطْعِمُهُ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ تَحْتَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا، فَأَطْعَمَتْهُ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَتْ تَفْلِي رَأْسَهُ، فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ، غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، يَرْكَبُونَ ثَبَجَ هَذَا الْبَحْرِ، مُلُوكًا عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ»، أَوْ «مِثْلَ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ» - يَشُكُّ أَيَّهُمَا - قَالَ: قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، فَدَعَا لَهَا، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَنَامَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ، غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ»، كَمَا قَالَ فِي الْأُولَى، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: «أَنْتِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ»، فَرَكِبَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتُ مِلْحَانَ الْبَحْرَ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَصُرِعَتْ عَنْ دَابَّتِهَا حِينَ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ، فَهَلَكَتْ

  1. 1

    [1] Umm Ĥarâm bint Milhân: The scholars said that the Prophet ﷺ was a Mahram to her, but they differed as how that was so. Ibn 'Abdul-Barr and others said that she was one of his maternal aunts through breastfeeding. Others said that she was the maternal aunt of his father or grandfather, because 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib's mother was from Banū An-Najjâr.

  2. 2

    [2] It should be noted that checking the head for lice does not necessarily mean that there were any.
