Narrated Anas bin Malik: Whenever Allah's Apostle went to Quba, he used to visit Um Haram bint Milhan who would offer him meals; and she was the wife of 'Ubada bin As-samit. One day he went to her house and she offered him a meal, and after that he slept, and then woke up smiling. She (Um Haram) said, "I asked him, 'What makes you laugh, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'Some people of my followers were displayed before me as warriors fighting for Allah's Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on thrones,' or said, 'like kings on thrones.' (The narrator, 'Is-haq is in doubt about it.) I (Um Haram) said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.' He invoked (Allah) for her and then lay his head and slept again and then woke up smiling. I asked, 'What makes you laugh, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'Some people of my followers were displayed before me as warriors fighting for Allah's Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on the thrones,' or said, 'like kings on the thrones.' I (Um Haram) said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.' He said, You will be amongst the first ones." It is said that Um Haram sailed over the sea at the time of Muawiya, and on coming out of the sea, she fell down from her riding animal and died.

Hadith Commentary:
In both narrations, there is mention of the midday rest (qaylulah) of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which corresponds to the subject of the chapter; this is the point of conformity between the hadith and the chapter.
In the first narration, there is mention of the fragrant sweat of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. A hundred times worthy of praise is Anas radi Allahu anhu, who was blessed with this most excellent fragrance.
In the second narration, there is mention of a prophecy regarding Umm Haram radi Allahu anha, which was fulfilled word for word during the era of Amir Muawiyah radi Allahu anhu.
Umm Haram radi Allahu anha, on her return from that battle, fell from her mount and was martyred. In this way, the prophecy was fulfilled.
From this, the permissibility of sea travel is also established. In fact, nowadays, sea travel has become very necessary and easy, as is observed.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In this hadith as well, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) went to the house of Umm Haram bint Milhan (radi Allahu anha) and took a midday nap (qaylulah) there. The purpose of Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) in mentioning this hadith is precisely this point.
(2)
Umm Haram (radi Allahu anha) was the honorable wife of Ubadah ibn as-Samit (radi Allahu anhu). In the twentieth year of Hijrah, during the rule of Amir Muawiyah (radi Allahu anhu), she set out with an army, and when disembarking from the sea, she fell from her mount and passed away. In this way, the prophecy of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was fulfilled word for word. From this hadith, it is established that traveling by sea is permissible. Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has written that Umm Haram (radi Allahu anha) was also a foster maternal aunt of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and for this reason, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would take a midday nap at her place. (Fath al-Bari: 11/93) And Allah knows best.
