Sunan Abi Dawud 2490 (Book 15, Hadith 14) #22781
Praying for Blessings from Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Umm Haram, daughter of Milhan, who asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to pray for her to be among those sailing in the sea like kings on thrones. He granted her wish and she was married off to 'Ubadah bin Al Samit who took her with him on an expedition. Unfortunately, she died when a riding beast threw her down and broke her neck.

Anas bin Malik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said "Umm Haram, daughter of Milhan, sister of Umm Sulaim, narrated to me that the Apostle of Allaahﷺ took a mid day nap with them. He then awoke laughing. She said "I asked the Apostle of Allaahﷺ, what made you laugh?" He replied "I saw some people who ere sailing in the midst of the sea like kings on thrones. She said "I said the Apostle of Allaahﷺ beseech Allaah that He may put me among them. He replied "You will be among them". She said "He then slept and awoke laughing. She said "I asked the Apostle of Allaahﷺ, what made you laugh? He replied as he said in the first reply. She said "I said the Apostle of Allaahﷺ beseech Allaah that HE may put me amongst them. He replied "You will be among the first. Then 'Ubadah bin Al Samit married her and sailed on the sea on an expedition and took her with him. When he returned, a riding beast was brought near her to ride, but it threw her down. Her neck was broken and she died.
