Sahih Muslim 287c (Book 2, Hadith 133) #7837
Umm Qais' Oath of Allegiance to Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Umm Qais, daughter of Mihsan, who was among the earliest female emigrants to take the oath of allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She came with her son and he urinated on the lap of the Prophet. The Prophet sent for water and sprayed it over his garment without washing it thoroughly.

Ubaidullah b. Abdullah b. 'Utba b. Mas'ud said: Umm Qais, daughter of Mihsan, was among the earliest female emigrants who took the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and she was the sister of 'Ukkasha b. Mihsan, one amongst the sons of Asad b. Khuzaymah. He (the narrator) said: She (Umm Qais) told me that she came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) with her son and he had not attained the age of eating food. He (the narrator, 'Ubaidullah), said: She told me that her son passed urine in the lap of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for water and sprayed it over his garment (over that part which was contaminated with the urine of the child) and he did not wash it thoroughly.
وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ أَمَّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتَ مِحْصَنٍ، - وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الأُوَلِ اللاَّتِي بَايَعْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ أُخْتُ عُكَّاشَةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ أَحَدُ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ - قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لَهَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الطَّعَامَ - قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ - أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّ ابْنَهَا ذَاكَ بَالَ فِي حِجْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَاءٍ فَنَضَحَهُ عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ غَسْلاً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Umm Qais, daughter of Mihsan, who was one of the earliest female emigrants to take an oath of allegiance to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She came with her son and he urinated on the lap of the Prophet. Instead of getting angry or scolding him, he showed mercy by sending for water and spraying it over his garment without washing it thoroughly as a sign that even small children should be treated with kindness and mercy. This hadith teaches us that we should always show kindness towards children no matter what they do wrong as they are still learning how to behave properly in society. It also teaches us that taking an oath or pledge is important in order for us to stay true to our commitments and promises made towards others or Allah SWT himself.
