Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
An Arab lady was mentioned to the Prophet so he asked Abu Usaid As-Sa’idi to send for her, and
he sent for her and she came and stayed in the castle of Bani Sa’ida. The Prophet came out and went
to her and entered upon her. Behold, it was a lady sitting with a drooping head. When the Prophet
spoke to her, she said, “I seek refuge with Allah from you.” He said, “I grant you refuge from me.”
They said to her, “Do you know who this is?” She said, “No.” They said, “This is Allah’s Apostle who has
come to command your hand in marriage.” She said, “I am very unlucky to lose this chance.” Then
the Prophet and his companions went towards the shed of Bani Sa’ida and sat there. Then he said,
“Give us water, O Sahl!” So I took out this drinking bowl and gave them water in it. The sub-narrator

The Prophet came from Mecca with Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr said “We passed by a shepherd and at
