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,
she mounted her riding animal, which threw her down breaking her neck, and she died on falling
down.

Somebody asked Al-Bar-a bin ‘Azib, “Did you flee deserting Allah’s Apostle during the battle of
Hunain?” Al-Bara replied, “But Allah’s Apostle did not flee. The people of the Tribe of Hawazin were
good archers. When we met them, we attacked them, and they fled. When the Muslims started col –
lecting the war booty, the pagans faced us with arrows, but Allah’s Apostle did not flee. No doubt, I
saw him on his white mule and Abu Sufyan was holding its reins and the Prophet was saying, ‘I am
the Prophet in truth: I am the son of ‘Abdul Muttalib.’ “
