Umm Salama's Refusal to Believe in Prophet Muhammad's Death

SUMMARY: Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), did not believe that he had died until she heard the sound of pickaxes.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, "I did not believe that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had died until I heard the pickaxes fall".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ مَا صَدَّقْتُ بِمَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ وَقْعَ الْكَرَازِينِ
