أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى قُبَاءَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَرَامِ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ فَتُطْعِمُهُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامِ بِنْتُ مِلْحَانَ تَحْتَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَأَطْعَمَتْهُ وَجَلَسَتْ تُفَلِّي رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ غَزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ يَرْكَبُونَ ثَبَجَ هَذَا الْبَحْرِ مُلُوكًا عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ» أَوْ مِثْلَ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ شَكَّ إِسْحَاقُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَامَ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَضَحِكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ؟ قَالَ «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ غَزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مُلُوكًا عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ» أَوْ مِثْلَ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ كَمَا قَالَ فِي الْأَوَّلِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ فَرَكِبَتِ الْبَحْرَ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَصُرِعَتْ عَنْ دَابَّتِهَا حِينَ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ فَهَلَكَتْ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he went to Quba, would visit Umm Haram bt. Milhan and she would feed him. Umm Haram bt. Milhan was married to Ubadah b. al-Samit. One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited her, she fed him, and she sat delousing his head. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell asleep, then woke up laughing. She said: “What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “People of my community were shown to me waging a raid in the path of Allah, riding on the crest of this sea, kings on thrones,” or “like kings on thrones”—Ishaq was unsure—She said: “O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for her. Then he slept, then woke up laughing. She said: “O Messenger of Allah, what makes you laugh?” He said: “People of my community were shown to me waging a raid in the path of Allah, kings on thrones,” or “like kings on thrones,” as he said the first time. She said: “O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.” He said: “You are of the first ones.” She rode the sea in the time of Muawiyah, then she fell from her mount when she came out of the sea and perished.
