Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Whenever Allah’s Apostle went to Quba, he used to visit Um Haram bint Milhan who would offer
him meals; and she was the wife of ‘Ubada bin As-samit. One day he went to her house and she
offered him a meal, and after that he slept, and then woke up smiling. She (Um Haram) said, “I asked
him, ‘What makes you laugh, O Allah’s Apostle?’ He said, ‘Some people of my followers were dis –
played before me as warriors fighting for Allah’s Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on thrones,’ or
said, ‘like kings on thrones.’ (The narrator, Ishaq is in doubt about it.) I (Um Haram) said, ‘O Allah’s
Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.’ He invoked (Allah) for her and then lay his
head and slept again and then woke up smiling. I asked, ‘What makes you laugh, O Allah’s Apostle?’
He said, ‘Some people of my followers were displayed before me as warriors fighting for Allah’s
Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on the thrones,’ or said, ‘like kings on the thrones.’ I (Um
Haram) said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.’ He said, You will be
amongst the first ones.” It is said that Um Haram sailed over the sea at the time of Muawiya, and on
coming out of the sea, she fell down from her riding animal and died.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When Allah’s Apostle married Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited the people who took their meals and
then remained sitting and talking. The Prophet pretended to be ready to get up, but the people did
not get up. When he noticed that, he got up, and when he had got up, some of those people got up
along with him and there remained three (who kept on sitting). Then the Prophet came back and
found those people still sitting. Later on those people got up and went away. So I went to the Prophet
and informed him that they had left.
The Prophet came, and entered (his house). I wanted to enter(along with him) but he dropped a
curtain between me and him. Allah then revealed: ‘O you who believe! Do not enter the Prophet’s
Houses until leave is given… (to His statement)… Verily! That shall be an enormity, in Allah’s sight.’

Volume 8, Book 74, Number 255:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
that he was a boy of ten at the time when the Prophet emigrated to Medina. He added: I served Al –
lah’s Apostle for ten years (the last part of his life time) and I know more than the people about the
occasion whereupon the order of Al-Hijab was revealed (to the Prophet). Ubai b n Ka’b used to ask
me about it. It was revealed (for the first time) during the marriage of Allah’s Apostle with Zainab
bint Jahsh. In the morning, the Prophet was a bride-groom of her and he Invited the people, who
took their meals and went away, but a group of them remained with Allah’s Apostle and they pro –
longed their stay. Allah’s Apostle got up and went out, and I too, went out along with him till he
came to the lintel of ‘Aisha’s dwelling place. Allah’s Apostle thought that those people had left by
then, so he returned, and I too, returned with him till he entered upon Zainab and found that they
were still sitting there and had not yet gone. The Prophet went out again, and so did I with him till he
reached the lintel of ‘Aisha’s dwelling place, and then he thought that those people must have left by
then, so he returned, and so did I with him, and found those people had gone. At that time the Divine
Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed, and the Prophet set a screen between me and him (his family).
