أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ، قَالَتْ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ عِنْدَنَا فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي مَا أَضْحَكَكَ قَالَ " رَأَيْتُ قَوْمًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَرْكَبُونَ هَذَا الْبَحْرَ كَالْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الأَسِرَّةِ " . قُلْتُ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ . قَالَ " فَإِنَّكِ مِنْهُمْ " . ثُمَّ نَامَ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ قُلْتُ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ . قَالَ " أَنْتِ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ " . فَتَزَوَّجَهَا عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ وَرَكِبَتْ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَتْ قُدِّمَتْ لَهَا بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَتْهَا فَصَرَعَتْهَا فَانْدَقَّتْ عُنُقُهَا .
Yahya ibn Habib ibn Arabi informed us; he said: Hammad narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Said, from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban, from Anas ibn Malik, from Umm Haram bint Milhan, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to us and rested at our home. He woke up laughing, and I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you; what makes you laugh? He said: I saw people from my community sailing this sea like kings upon couches. I said: Ask Allah to make me one of them. He said: You are indeed one of them. Then he slept again. He woke up laughing, and I asked him about it. He said—meaning, he repeated something like what he had said before. I said: Ask Allah to make me one of them. He said: You are among the first. Ubadah ibn al-Samit then married her. He sailed by sea, and she sailed with him. When she disembarked, a mule was brought for her. She mounted it, but it threw her, and her neck was broken.
Translation notes
This version records two different responses to Umm Haram’s request: first, You are one of them; later, You are among the first. It also says that the mule threw her when she disembarked, breaking her neck.
قَالَتْ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ عِنْدَنَا فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي مَا أَضْحَكَكَ قَالَ " رَأَيْتُ قَوْمًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَرْكَبُونَ هَذَا الْبَحْرَ كَالْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الأَسِرَّةِ " .
The phrase وَقَالَ عِنْدَنَا means that the Messenger of Allah rested or took a midday nap at their home; the wording is idiomatic.
Confirm whether rested at our home is the preferred rendering for this expression.
