أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مَوْلَى أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ قَالَتْ

تُوُفِّيَ ابْنِي فَجَزِعْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لِلَّذِي يُغَسِّلُهُ لَا تُغَسِّلِ ابْنِي بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ فَانْطَلَقَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِهَا فَتَبَسَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا قَالَتْ طَالَ عُمْرُهَا فَلَا نَعَلَمُ امْرَأَةً عَمَّرَتْ مَا عَمَّرَتْ»

✧ My son died and I grieved over him. I said to the one washing him, "Do not wash my son with cold water." Ukkashah b. Mihsan went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of her words. He smiled, then said, "What she said—may her life be long, for we do not know of a woman who lived as long as she did."
