Sahih Muslim Hadith 4935 – The Virtue Of

English

[4935] 161 – (…) It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that Umm Harâm, who was the maternal aunt of Anas, said: Ell At the time of Mu'âwiyah: Most scholars of biography are of the view that this happened during the caliphate of 'Uthmân bin 'Affân, may Allah be pleased with him, during that Umm Harâm and her husband traveled to Cyprus, where she fell from her mount and died, and was buried there. Based on this, the words: "At the time of Mu'âwiyah" refer to the time of Mu'âwiyah's sea campaign, not the time of his caliphate. "The Prophet came to us one day and took a nap in our house, then he woke up smiling. I said: 'Why are you smiling, 0 Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you?' He said: 'I have been shown some people of my Ummah riding on the surface of this sea, like kings on thrones.' I said: 'Pray to Allah to make me one of them.' He said: 'You will be one of them." She said: "Then he slept, then he woke again, smiling. I asked him (about that) and he said something similar. I said: 'Pray to Allah to make me one of them.' He said: 'You will be one of the first." He said: "'Ubâdah bin As-Samit married her after that, and he went on a campaign by sea and took her with him. When she arrived, a mule was brought for her and she rode it, but she fell down and broke her neck."
