Volume 4, Book 52, Number 47:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle used to visit Um Haran bint Milhan, who would offer him reals. Um-Haram was
the wife of Ubada bin As-Samit. Allah’s Apostle, once visited her and she provided him with food and
started looking for lice in his head. Then Allah’s Apostle slept, and afterwards woke up smiling. Um
Haran asked, “What causes you to smile, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said. “Some of my followers who (in a
dream) were presented before me as fighters in Allah’s Cause (on board a ship) amidst this sea cause
me to smile; they were as kings on the thrones (or like kings on the thrones).” (Ishaq, a sub-narrator
is not sure as to which expression the Prophet used.) Um-Haram said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Al –
lah that he makes me one of them. Allah’s Apostle invoked Allah for her and slept again and woke up
smiling. Once again Um Haram asked, “What makes you smile, O Allah’s Apostle?” He replied, “Some
of my followers were presented to me as fighters in Allah’s Cause,” repeating the same dream. Um-
Haram said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah that He makes me one of them.” He said, “You are
amongst the first ones.” It happened that she sailed on the sea during the Caliphate of Mu’awlya bin
Abi Sufyan, and after she disembarked, she fell down from her riding animal and died.
