Allah’s Apostle went to the daughter of Milhan and reclined there (and slept) and then (woke up)
smiling. She asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What makes you smile?” He replied, (I dreamt that) some
people amongst my followers were sailing on the green sea in Allah’s Cause, resembling kings on
thrones.” She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me one of them.” He said, “O Allah! Let
her be one of them.” Then he (slept again and woke up and) smiled. She asked him the same question
and he gave the same reply. She said, “Invoke Allah to make me one of them.” He replied, ”You will be
amongst the first group of them; you will not be amongst the last.” Later on she married ‘Ubada bin
As-Samit and then she sailed on the sea with bint Qaraza, Mu’awiya’s wife (for Jihad). On her return,

on their backs”). Then they would pour the water in the mouths of the people, and return to fill the
water skins again and came back again to pour water in the mouths of the people.
