حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، أَنَّ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ الأَسْوَدِ الْعَنْسِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، أَتَى عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ وَهْوَ نَازِلٌ فِي سَاحِلِ حِمْصَ، وَهْوَ فِي بِنَاءٍ لَهُ وَمَعَهُ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ، قَالَ عُمَيْرٌ فَحَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ حَرَامٍ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " أَوَّلُ جَيْشٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَغْزُونَ الْبَحْرَ قَدْ أَوْجَبُوا ". قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا فِيهِمْ. قَالَ " أَنْتِ فِيهِمْ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَوَّلُ جَيْشٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَغْزُونَ مَدِينَةَ قَيْصَرَ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُمْ ". فَقُلْتُ أَنَا فِيهِمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " لاَ ".
Khalid bin Maʿdan reported that Umayr bin al-Aswad al-Anasi told him: I went to Ubada bin al-Samit while he was staying in a building on the coast of Hims, with Umm Haram there. Umayr said: Umm Haram told us that she heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “The first army from my community to undertake a naval expedition have secured Paradise.” Umm Haram said: I asked: “Messenger of Allah, will I be among them?” He replied: “You will be among them.” The Prophet ﷺ then said: “The first army from my community to attack the city of Caesar will be forgiven.” I asked: “Will I be among them, Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “No.”
Translation notes
“Have secured Paradise” renders the Arabic idiom qad awjabu; the English witness interprets this as Paradise being granted.
قَدْ أَوْجَبُوا
The Arabic uses the idiom qad awjabu; the witness interprets it as Paradise being granted.
Is “have secured Paradise” the appropriate English rendering of this idiom in this context?
