3173. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: “When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went to Qubâ’ he used to come to Umm Ĥarâm bint Milhân and she would feed him. Umm Ĥarâm was married to ‘Ubâdah bin Aş-Şâmit. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered upon her and she fed him and checked his head for lice. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ fell asleep, then he woke up smiling. She said: ‘What is making you smile, O Messenger of Allâh?’ He said: ‘Some people of my Ummah were shown to me, fighting in the cause of Allâh and riding across the sea like kings on thrones.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allâh, pray to Allâh to make me one of them.’ So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed for her, then he slept again.” (One of the narrators) Al-Ĥârith, said (in his narration): “He slept then he woke up smiling. I said to him: ‘What is making you smile, O Messenger of Allâh?’ He said: ‘Some people of my Ummah were shown to me, fighting in the cause of Allâh and riding across the sea like kings on thrones,' as he had said the first time. I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, pray to Allâh to make me one of them.' He said: 'You will be one of the first.' And she traveled by sea at the time of Mu'âwiyah, then she fell from her mount when she came out of the sea and died." (Sahîh)

3171 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى قُبَاءَ، يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ فَتُطْعِمُهُ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتُ مِلْحَانَ تَحْتَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا، فَأَطْعَمَتْهُ وَجَلَسَتْ تَفْلِي رَأْسَهُ، فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ، غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يَرْكَبُونَ ثَبَجَ هَذَا الْبَحْرِ، مُلُوكٌ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ، أَوْ مِثْلُ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ» - شَكَّ إِسْحَقُ - فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، فَدَعَا لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ نَامَ - وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: فَنَامَ -، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَضَحِكَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مُلُوكٌ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ، أَوْ مِثْلُ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ» - كَمَا قَالَ فِي الْأَوَّلِ - فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: «أَنْتِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ» فَرَكِبَتِ الْبَحْرَ فِي زَمَانِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَصُرِعَتْ عَنْ دَابَّتِهَا حِينَ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ، فَهَلَكَتْ

Commentary

1. Umm Harâm bint Milhân ﷺ was the Prophet's ﷺ unmarriageable kin (a Mahram), related to his mother's side of the family. The Prophet's ﷺ visiting her frequently, sleeping at her house, her searching his sacred head for lice, etc., all are understood by the relationship. Otherwise, Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did not visit other houses of the Helpers in such a way. 2. Allâh's Messenger ﷺ never had lice in his blessed head. He kept himself clean and tidy. He always remained fragrant and sweet-smelling. Her attempting to find lice in his head is linked to the customary common habit.
