Sahih Muslim Hadith 4603 – The Muhâjirân

English

[4603] 70 – (17771) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: When the Muhâjirân came from Makkah to A1-Madinah, they came with nothing in their hands. The Anâr were people with land and date palms, so they shared what they had with them, giving them half of the yield each year, and they (the MuhâjirIn) gave their labour in return. The mother of Anas bin Mâlik was called Umm Sulaim, and she was also the mother of 'Abdullâh bin AbI Talbah, who was the brother of Anas through his mother. Umm Anas had given the Messenger of Allah some date palms of hers, and the Messenger of Allah 4Lt gave them to Umm Ayman, his freed slave, the mother of Usâmah bin Zaid. Ibn Shihâb said: Anas bin Mâlik told me that when the Messenger of Allah jok, had finished fighting the people of Khaibar, and had gone back to Al-Madinah, the Muhâjir0n gave back their gifts of fruits and produce to the Anâr. He said: The Messenger of Allah gave the date palms back to my mother, and the Messenger of Allah gave Umm Ayman some trees of his own garden instead of them. Ibn Shihâb said: Umm Ayman, the mother of Usâmah bin Zaid, was the slave woman of 'Abdullâh bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, and she was from Ethiopia. When Aminah gave birth to the Messenger of Allah Lg,, after his father had died, Umm Ayman looked after him, then when the Messenger of Allah grew up, he manumitted her and arranged her marriage to Zaid bin Hârithah, she died five months after the death of the Messenger of Allah .
