عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً حَدَّثَتْهُ قَالَتْ نَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَقُلْتُ تَضْحَكُ مِنِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَخْرُجُونَ غُزَاةً فِي الْبَحْرِ مَثَلُهُمْ مَثَلُ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ نَامَ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ أَيْضًا يَضْحَكُ فَقُلْتُ تَضْحَكُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنِّي قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَخْرُجُونَ غُزَاةً فِي الْبَحْرِ فَيَرْجِعُونَ قَلِيلَةً غَنَائِمُهُمْ مَغْفُورًا لَهُمْ قَالَتْ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا لَهَا قَالَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهَا فِي غَزَاةٍ غَزَاهَا الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الرُّومِ هِيَ مَعَنَا فَمَاتَتْ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ
‘Ata bin Yasar narrates that a woman, while describing this, said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slept, then woke up smiling. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Are you smiling at me? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, rather the reason for my smile is that a group from my Ummah is performing naval jihad; their example is like that of kings sitting on thrones. She said: Then you (peace and blessings be upon him) slept again and woke up smiling, I said: O Messenger of Allah! Are you smiling because of me? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, rather a group from my Ummah is setting out on a sea journey for jihad, then when they return, their spoils will be little, but they will have already been forgiven. I said: Then pray to Allah Almighty that He makes me among them, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for her. The narrator says: ‘Ata bin Yasar told me that he saw this woman in that expedition. Sayyiduna Mundhir bin Zubair undertook this expedition towards the land of Rome, this woman was with us and she passed away in the region of Rome.
