[6411] (2503) He said:[1] "Asmâ' bint 'Umais, who was one of those who had come with us, entered upon Hafṣah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, to visit her. She was one of those who had migrated to Abyssinia. 'Umar entered upon Hafṣah when Asmâ' was with her, and when he saw Asmâ', 'Umar said: 'Who is this?' She said: 'Asmâ' bint 'Umais.'

woman?' Asmâ' said: 'Yes.' Umar said: 'We migrated before you, so we have more right to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ than you.' She got angry and spoke up: 'You are lying, O 'Umar! No, by Allâh, you were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and he was feeding your hungry ones, and exhorting your ignorant, while we were in a hostile land far away in Abyssinia, and that was for the sake of Allâh and His Messenger ﷺ. By Allâh, I will not eat or drink anything until I tell the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about what you said. We were in a state of constant trouble and fear, and I will say that to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and I will ask him. By Allâh, I am not lying or adding anything to that.' When the Prophet ﷺ came, she said: 'O Prophet of Allâh, 'Umar said such-and-such.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'No one has more right to me than you. He and his companions migrated once, but you, the people of the ship, migrated twice.'
"She said: 'I saw Abû Mûsâ and the people of the ship coming to me in groups, asking me about that Hadîth, and there is nothing in this world more pleasing to them or more significant than what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to them.'"
Abû Burdah said: "Asmâ' said: 'I saw Abû Mûsâ asking me to repeat this Hadîth.'"

(2503) قَالَ فَدَخَلَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ، وَهِيَ مِمَّنْ قَدِمَ مَعَنَا، عَلَى حَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَائِرَةً، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ هَاجَرَتْ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ فِيمَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ، فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ، وَأَسْمَاءُ عِنْدَهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ حِينَ رَأَى أَسْمَاءَ: مَنْ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: الْحَبَشِيَّةُ هَذِهِ؟ الْبَحْرِيَّةُ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: سَبَقْنَاكُمْ بِالْهِجْرَةِ، فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْكُمْ، فَغَضِبَتْ، وَقَالَتْ كَلِمَةً: كَذَبْتَ يَا عُمَرُ كَلَّا، وَاللهِ كُنْتُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُطْعِمُ جَائِعَكُمْ، وَيَعِظُ جَاهِلَكُمْ، وَكُنَّا فِي دَارِ، أَوْ فِي أَرْضِ الْبُعَدَاءِ الْبُغَضَاءِ فِي الْحَبَشَةِ، وَذَلِكَ فِي اللهِ وَفِي رَسُولِهِ، وَايْمُ اللهِ لَا أَطْعَمُ طَعَامًا وَلَا أَشْرَبُ شَرَابًا حَتَّى أَذْكُرَ مَا قُلْتَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَنَحْنُ كُنَّا نُؤْذَى وَنُخَافُ، وَسَأَذْكُرُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَسْأَلُهُ، وَوَاللهِ لَا أَكْذِبُ وَلَا أَزِيغُ وَلَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ بِأَحَقَّ بِي مِنْكُمْ، وَلَهُ وَلِأَصْحَابِهِ هِجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ، أَهْلَ السَّفِينَةِ، هِجْرَتَانِ» قَالَتْ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى وَأَصْحَابَ السَّفِينَةِ يَأْتُونِي أَرْسَالًا، يَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، مَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا شَيْءٌ هُمْ بِهِ أَفْرَحُ وَلَا أَعْظَمُ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِمَّا قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ: فَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسْتَعِيدُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنِّي
