Umm Haram's Dream of Fighting in Allah's Cause

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had a dream about some of his followers who were fighting in Allah's cause and were kings on thrones. Umm Haram asked him to supplicate for her to be among them, and he said she was already one of them.

Narrated Ishaq bin 'Abdullah bin Abi Talhah: That he heard Anas bin Malik saying: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit Umm Haram bint Milhan, who would offer him meals. Umm Haram was the wife of 'Ubadah bin As-Samit. Once the Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited her and she provide him with some food and started inspecting this head for lice. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept and afterwards he awoke smiling. She said: 'I said: "What causes you to smile, O the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said: "Some of my followers who were displayed before me )in a dream) as fighters in Allah's cause, riding on a ship this ocean who were kings upon thrones, or like kings upon thrones". I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah to make me among them'." So he supplicated for her. Then he lay down his head to sleep. Then he woke up and he was smiling. She said: 'So I said to him: "What causes you to smile, O the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: "Some of my followers who were displayed before me (in a dream) as fighters in Allah's cause," and he said similar to what he said earlier. She said: 'I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah to make me among them". He said: "You are the earlier ones'." He said: "So Umm Haram rode on the sea during the time of Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan. She was thrown from the riding animal after she arrived from the ocean voyage, and she died". Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. Umm Haram bint Milhan is the daughter of Umm Sulaim, the maternal aunt of Anas bin Malik.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the story of Umm Haram bint Milhan, the wife of 'Ubadah bin As-Samit. She provided food for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and while inspecting his head for lice he fell asleep and awoke smiling. When she asked him why he was smiling he told her that in his dream some of his followers were displayed as fighters in Allah's cause riding on a ship across an ocean who were kings upon thrones or like kings upon thrones. She then asked him to supplicate to Allah so that she could be among them too, which he did. Later during Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan’s time she went on an ocean voyage but died after being thrown from her riding animal when she arrived at her destination. This hadith teaches us that if we have faith in God and strive hard enough we can achieve great things even if it may seem impossible at first glance. It also shows us how generous the Prophet Muhammad was with his prayers even though they are precious gifts from God himself; He prayed for Umm Haram without hesitation despite knowing that it would not be easy for her to achieve what she wanted due to her age and gender at the time period this happened in history.
