(Book 21, Hadith 39) #36066
Umm Haram's Wish Granted by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Umm Haram, the wife of Ubada ibn as-Samit, who asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to pray for her to be among those who fight in the way of Allah. The Prophet (PBUH) granted her wish and she was among the first people to do so.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that Anas ibn Malik had said that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to Quba, he visited Umm Haram bint Milhan and she fed him. Umm Haram was the wife of Ubada ibn as-Samit. One day the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had called on her and she had fed him, and sat down to delouse his hair. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had dozed and woke up smiling. Umm Haram said, "What is making you smile, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Some of my community were presented to me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were riding in the middle of the sea, kings on thrones, or like kings on thrones". (Ishaq wasn't sure). She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah to put me among them!" So he had made a dua for her, and put his head down and slept. Then he had woken up smiling, and she said to him, "Messenger of Allah, why are you smiling?" He said, "Some of my community were presented to me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were kings on thrones or like kings on thrones," as he had said in the first one. She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah to put me among them!" He said, "You are among the first". Ishaq added, "She travelled on the sea in the time of Muawiya, and when she landed, she was thrown from her mount and killed".
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى قُبَاءٍ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ فَتُطْعِمُهُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ تَحْتَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمًا فَأَطْعَمَتْهُ وَجَلَسَتْ تَفْلِي فِي رَأْسِهِ فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Umm Haram bint Milhan, a woman who was married to Ubada ibn as-Samit and visited by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ one day. During his visit, he fell asleep while she deloused his hair and woke up smiling after having a vision of some of his followers fighting in the way of Allah on thrones or like kings on thrones. When Umm Haram asked him why he was smiling, he told her what he saw and she asked him to pray for her so that she could be among them too. He prayed for her and told her that she would be among them first. She later went on a journey during Muawiya's time but unfortunately died when thrown off from her mount upon landing at their destination. This hadith teaches us about faithfulness towards Allah SWT through prayer and worship as well as sacrificing our lives in His cause if necessary; values which are essential for any Muslim believer today just like it was back then during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .
