[4935] 161 - (...) It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that Umm Ḥarām, who was the maternal aunt of Anas, said: “The Prophet ﷺ came to us one day and took a nap in our house, then he woke up smiling. I said: ‘Why are you smiling, O Messenger of Allâh, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you?’ He said: ‘I have been shown some people of my Ummah riding on the surface of this sea, like kings on thrones.’ I said: ‘Pray to Allâh to make me one of them.’ He said: ‘You will be one of them.’” She said: “Then he slept, then he woke again, smiling. I asked him (about that) and he said something similar. I said: ‘Pray to Allâh to make me one of them.’ He said: ‘You will be one of the first.’” He said: “‘Ubâdah bin Aş-Şâmit married her after that, and he went on a campaign by sea and took her with him. When she arrived, a mule was brought for her and she rode it, but she fell down and broke her neck.”

161 - (1912) حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَرَامٍ، وَهِيَ خَالَةُ أَنَسٍ، قَالَتْ: أَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا، فَقَالَ عِنْدَنَا، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، قَالَ: «أُرِيتُ قَوْمًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَرْكَبُونَ ظَهْرَ الْبَحْرِ كَالْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ»، فَقُلْتُ: ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّكِ مِنْهُمْ»، قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ نَامَ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ أَيْضًا وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: «أَنْتِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ»، قَالَ: فَتَزَوَّجَهَا عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ بَعْدُ، فَغَزَا فِي الْبَحْرِ فَحَمَلَهَا مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاءَتْ قُرِّبَتْ لَهَا بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَتْهَا فَصَرَعَتْهَا، فَانْدَقَّتْ عُنُقُهَا،

    [1] At the time of Mu'āwiyah: Most scholars of biography are of the view that this happened during the caliphate of Uthmān bin 'Affān, may Allāh be pleased with him, during that Umm Ḥarām and her husband traveled to Cyprus, where she fell from her mount and died, and was buried there. Based on this, the words: "At the time of Mu'āwiyah" refer to the time of Mu'āwiyah's sea campaign, not the time of his caliphate.
