Ḥalīmah's return of him ﷺ to his mother
[ رُجُوعُ حَلِيمَةَ بِهِ ﷺ إلَى أُمِّهِ ] قَالَتْ: وَقَالَ لِي أَبُوهُ يَا حَلِيمَةُ، لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الْغُلَامُ قَدْ أُصِيبَ فَأَلْحِقِيهِ بِأَهْلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ، قَالَتْ: فَاحْتَمَلْنَاهُ، فَقَدِمْنَا بِهِ عَلَى أُمِّهِ، فَفَالَتْ: مَا أَقْدَمَكَ بِهِ يَا ظِئْرُ وَقَدْ كُنْتِ حَرِيصَةً عَلَيْهِ، وَعَلَى مُكْثِهِ عِنْدَكَ ؟ قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ بَلَغَ اللَّهُ بِابْنِي وَقَضَيْتُ الَّذِي عَلَيَّ، وَتَخَوَّفْتُ الْأَحْدَاثَ، عَلَيْهِ، فَأَدَّيْتُهُ إلَيْكَ كَمَا تُحِبِّينَ، قَالَتْ: مَا هَذَا شَأْنُكَ، فَاصْدُقِينِي خَبَرَكَ. قَالَتْ: فَلَمْ تَدَعْنِي حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُهَا. قَالَتْ: أَفَتَخَوَّفَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانَ ؟ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ نَعَمْ، قَالَتْ: كَلَّا، وَاَللَّهِ مَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ، وَإِنَّ لِبُنَيَّ لَشَأْنًا، أَفَلَا أُخْبِرُكِ خَبَرَهُ، قَالَتْ: ( قُلْتُ ) بَلَى، قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ حِينَ حَمَلْتُ بِهِ، أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنِّي نُورٌ أَضَاءَ لِي قُصُورَ بُصْرَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الشَّامِ، ثُمَّ حَمَلْتُ بِهِ، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ حَمْلٍ قَطُّ كَانَ أَخَفَّ ( عَلَيَّ ) وَلَا أَيْسَرَ مِنْهُ، وَوَقَعَ حِينَ وَلَدْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَوَاضِعٌ يَدَيْهِ بِالْأَرْضِ، رَافِعٌ رَأَسَهُ إلَى السَّمَاءِ، دَعِيهِ عَنْكَ وَانْطَلِقِي رَاشِدَةً
Translation
✧ [Ḥalīmah's return with him ﷺ to his mother] She said: His father said to me, “O Ḥalīmah, I fear that this boy has been afflicted, so return him to his family before that appears in him.” She said: So we carried him and brought him to his mother. She said, “What has brought you with him, O wet-nurse, when you were eager for him and for his staying with you?” She said: I said, “Allah has brought my son to full growth and I have fulfilled what was upon me, and I feared events upon him, so I have handed him over to you as you like.” She said, “This is not your affair, so tell me your news truthfully.” She said: She did not leave me until I told her. She said, “Did you fear Shayṭān for him?” She said: I said, “Yes.” She said, “No, by Allah, Shayṭān has no way over him, and my son has a great matter. Shall I tell you his news?” She said: I said, “Yes.” She said: “When I conceived him, I saw that a light came out of me that illuminated for me the palaces of Buṣrā in the land of Syria. Then I carried him, and by Allah, I never saw any pregnancy that was lighter upon me or easier than it. And when I gave birth to him, he fell with his hands placed on the ground, raising his head to the sky. Leave him with me and depart rightly guided.”
