Hadith 11994

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: اتَّكَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ابْنَةِ مِلْحَانَ، قَالَ: فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَضَحِكَ، فَقَالَتْ: مِمَّ ضَحِكْتَ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَقَالَ: ”مِنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَرْكَبُونَ هَذَا الْبَحْرَ الْأَخْضَرَ غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ.“ قَالَتْ: ادْعُ اللَّهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ: ”اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا مِنْهُمْ.“ فَنَكَحَتْ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: فَرَكِبَتْ فِي الْبَحْرِ مَعَ ابْنِهَا قَرَظَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا هِيَ قَفَلَتْ رَكِبَتْ دَابَّةً لَهَا بِالسَّاحِلِ، فَوَقَصَتْ بِهَا فَسَقَطَتْ فَمَاتَتْ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reclined at the house of Bint Milhan, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head while smiling. Sayyida Bint Milhan (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Why are you smiling? He said: Some people from my Ummah are riding upon this green sea, striving in the way of Allah. Their example is like that of kings sitting on thrones. She said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah that He makes me among them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Make her among them. Then this woman married Sayyiduna ‘Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and began a sea journey with her son Qarzah. On the return, when she mounted her ride near the shore, it threw her in such a way that her neck broke, so she fell and passed away.
