حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنْ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ
أَتَانِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ يَوْمًا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْلًا فَسُرِرْتُ بِهِ، قَالَ: " لَا يُصِيبُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مُصِيبَةٌ، فَيَسْتَرْجِعَ عِنْدَ مُصِيبَتِهِ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اؤْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا فُعِلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: فَحَفِظْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ اسْتَرْجَعْتُ، وَقُلْتُ: اللَّهُمَّ اؤْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَاخْلُفْنِي خَيْرًا مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى نَفْسِي، قُلْتُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ لِي خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ؟ فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتِي اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَنَا أَدْبُغُ إِهَابًا لِي، فَغَسَلْتُ يَدَيَّ مِنَ الْقَرَظِ وَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ، فَوَضَعْتُ لَهُ وِسَادَةَ أَدَمٍ، حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ، فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهَا، فَخَطَبَنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ مَقَالَتِهِ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا بِي أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ بِكَ الرَّغْبَةُ فِيَّ، وَلَكِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ فِيَّ غَيْرَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تَرَى مِنِّي شَيْئًا يُعَذِّبُنِي اللهُ بِهِ، وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ [قَدْ] دَخَلْتُ فِي السِّنِّ، وَأَنَا ذَاتُ عِيَالٍ، فَقَالَ: " أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ، فَسَوْفَ يُذْهِبُهَا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْكِ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ مِنَ السِّنِّ فَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي مِثْلُ الَّذِي أَصَابَكِ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ مِنَ الْعِيَالِ، فَإِنَّمَا عِيَالُكِ عِيَالِي " قَالَتْ: فَقَدْ سَلَّمْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: فَقَدْ أَبْدَلَنِي اللهُ بِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ؛ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ One day Abu Salamah came to me from the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: “I heard a saying from the Messenger of God ﷺ that pleased me. He said: ‘No misfortune befalls any Muslim such that he seeks return to God at the time of his misfortune and then says: “O God, reward me in my misfortune and leave me something better in its place,” except that this will be done for him.’ ” Umm Salamah said: “I memorized this from him. When Abu Salamah died, I sought return to God and said: ‘O God, reward me in my misfortune and leave me something better in its place.’ Then I reconsidered and said: ‘How could I have anyone better than Abu Salamah?’ When my waiting period ended, the Messenger of God ﷺ asked permission to enter while I was tanning a hide. I washed my hands of the acacia pods and gave him permission. I placed for him a leather cushion stuffed with palm fiber, and he sat on it. He proposed to me for himself. When he finished speaking, I said: ‘O Messenger of God, it is not that I have no desire for you, but I am a woman with intense jealousy, and I fear that you may see something from me for which God would punish me. I am a woman who has entered old age, and I have dependents.’ He said: ‘As for the jealousy you mentioned, God, Mighty and Majestic, will soon remove it from you. As for the old age you mentioned, I have been afflicted with the same as you. As for the dependents you mentioned, your dependents are my dependents.’ She said: ‘So I surrendered myself to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the Messenger of God ﷺ married her.’ Umm Salamah said: ‘God indeed replaced Abu Salamah for me with someone better—the Messenger of God ﷺ.’
