Sunan an-Nasa'i 1882
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 يَغْسِلُهُ لاَ تَغْسِلِ ابْنِي بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ فَتَقْتُلَهُ . فَانْطَلَقَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِهَا فَتَبَسَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ " مَا قَالَتْ طَالَ عُمْرُهَا " . فَلاَ نَعْلَمُ امْرَأَةً عُمِرَتْ مَا عُمِرَتْ .
Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Abu al-Hasan, the client of Umm Qays bint Mihsan, from Umm Qays, who said: My son died, and I was distraught over him. I said to the person washing him: ‘Do not wash my son with cold water and kill him!’ ‘Ukashah ibn Mihsan went to the Messenger of Allah and told him what she had said. He smiled and said: ‘What she said! May her life be long.’ We know of no woman who lived as long as she did.
