Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1418 — a daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْأَعْرَجُ جَابِرٌ السَّمْتِيُّ قَالَ : نَا خَلَفُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ قَالَ : نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ . عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ أَنَّ ابْنَةً لِرَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- تُوُفِّيَتْ ، وَكَانُوا يَحْمِلُونَ الرِّجَالَ وَالنِّسَاءَ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ سَوَاءً ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ بِالْحَبَشَةِ ، وَهُمْ نَصَارَى أَهْلُ كِتَابٍ ، وَهُمْ يَجْعَلُونَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ نَعْشًا فَوْقَهُ أَضْلَاعٌ ، يَكْرَهُونَ أَنْ يُوصَفَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهَا ، أَفَلَا أَجْعَلُ لِابْنَتِكَ نَعْشًا مِثْلَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : I " اجْعَلِيهِ I " ، فَهِيَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ جَعَلَ نَعْشًا انْتُعِشَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لِرُقَيَّةَ ابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - I " . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ إِلَّا خَلَفٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْأَعْرَجُ I " . كذا في طبعة دار الحرمين ، ولعل الصواب : ( خالد السمتي )
It is narrated from Sayyidah Asma' bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) that a daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and the people (at that time) used to carry men and women on bedsteads in the same way. So I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have lived in the land of Abyssinia; they are Christians, People of the Book, and they prepare for a woman a bier (with a canopy) over which wooden arches are fixed, because they dislike that anything of the shape of the woman's body should be visible (during the funeral). So shall I not prepare a bier like that for your daughter as well?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, make it." So she is the first woman in Islam who prepared, for Sayyidah Ruqayyah (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the first bier that was carried as a covered coffin (with a canopy).
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) except Khalaf (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abu al-Rabi' al-A'raj (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
This is how it appears in the printed edition of Dar al-Haramayn, and the correct name is probably 'Khalid al-Samti'.
