Volume 9, Book 87, Number 130:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle used to visit Um Haram bint Milhan she was the wife of ‘Ubada bin As-Samit. One
day the Prophet 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 Haram asked, “What makes you
smile, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “Some of my followers were presented before me in my dream as
fighters in Allah’s Cause, sailing in the middle of the seas like kings on the thrones or like kings sit –
ting on their thrones.” (The narrator Ishaq is not sure as to which expression was correct). Um
Haram added, ‘I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah, to make me one of them;” So Allah’s Apostle
invoked Allah for her and then laid his head down (and slept). Then he woke up smiling (again).
(Um Haram added): I said, “What makes you smile, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “Some people of my
followers were presented before me (in a dream) as fighters in Allah’s Cause.” He said the same as he
had said before. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me from them.” He said, “You are
among the first ones.” Then Um Haram sailed over the sea during the Caliphate of Muawiya bin Abu
Sufyan, and she fell down from her riding animal after coming ashore, and died.
