Musnad Abi Ya'la 6907 — from Ibn Umar bin Abi Salamah
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِذَا أَصَابَتْ أَحَدَكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ فَلْيَقُلْ : إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ، اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا وَأَبْدِلْنَا بِهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا ، فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ، اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي ، فَأْجُرْنِي فِيهَا ، فَكُنْتُ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ : وَأَبْدِلْنِي بِهَا خَيْرًا ، قُلْتُ : وَمَنْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ؟ قَالَتْ : فَلَمْ أَزَلْ حَتَّى قُلْتُهَا ، فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا خَطَبَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَدَّتْهُ ، وَخَطَبَهَا عُمَرُ فَرَدَّتْهُ ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَخَطَبَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ ، أَقْرِئْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرَى ، وَأَنِّي مُصْبِيَةٌ ، وَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي شَاهِدٌ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَمَّا قَوْلُكِ : إِنِّي غَيْرَى فَإِنِّي أَدْعُو اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَيُذْهِبُ غَيْرَتَكِ ، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكِ : إِنِّي مُصْبِيَةٌ ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَيَكْفِيكِ صِبْيَانَكِ ، وَأَمَّا أَوْلِيَاؤُكِ فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ شَاهِدٌ وَلَا غَائِبٌ إِلَّا سَيَرْضَانِي ، فَقَالَتْ لِابْنِهَا : قُمْ يَا عُمَرُ فَزَوِّجْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَزَوَّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ ، وَقَالَ لَهَا : أَمَا لَا أُنْقِصُكِ مِمَّا أَعْطَيْتُ أُخْتَكِ فُلَانَةَ : جَرَّتَيْنِ وَوِجَاءَيْنِ وَوِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْتِيهَا وَهِيَ تُرْضِعُ زَيْنَبَ ، فَكَانَتْ إِذَا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَخَذَتْهَا فَوَضَعَتْهَا فِي حَجْرِهَا ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَيِيًّا كَرِيمًا ، فَفَطِنَ لَهَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ ، وَكَانَ أَخَاهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ، فَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ يَأْتِيَهَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَجَاءَ عَمَّارٌ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَانْتَشَطَ زَيْنَبَ مِنْ حَجْرِهَا ، وَقَالَ : دَعِي هَذِهِ الْمَقْبُوحَةَ الْمَشْقُوحَةَ الَّتِي قَدْ آذَيْتِ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَدَخَلَ ، فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُ بَصَرَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ ، وَيَقُولُ : أَيْنَ زُنَابُ ؟ مَا فَعَلَتْ زُنَابُ ؟ مَا لِي لَا أَرَى زُنَابَ ؟ قَالَتْ : جَاءَ عَمَّارٌ فَذَهَبَ بِهَا ، فَبَنَى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِأَهْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : إِنْ شِئْتِ أَنْ أُسَبِّعَ لَكِ كَمَا سَبَّعْتُ لِلنِّسَاءِ . ؟
Thabit al-Bunani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Ibn Umar bin Abi Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him), who narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Umar bin Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrates from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a calamity befalls any of you, let him say: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, Allahumma indaka ahtasibu musibati fa'jurni fiha wa abdilna biha khayran minha' (Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. O Allah, with You alone I seek reward for this calamity of mine, so reward me for it and grant us in its place something better than it)." She said: When Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, I said: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, Allahumma indaka ahtasibu musibati, fa'jurni fiha' (We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. O Allah, with You alone I seek reward for this calamity of mine, so reward me for it). Then, when I wanted to say, 'And grant me something better than it in its place,' I thought (to myself): Who could be better than Abu Salamah? She said: Then I kept on reciting this supplication until at last I said these words. Then, when her waiting period (iddah) was over, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent her a proposal of marriage, which she declined; then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a proposal, and she refused him too. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent his messenger to propose to her, and she said: "Welcome to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and to his messenger! Convey my greetings to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and tell him that I am an extremely jealous woman, that I have children, and that none of my guardians is present here." At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to her: "As for your saying that you are jealous, I will supplicate to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, to remove the intensity of your jealousy. As for your saying that you have children, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will suffice you in providing for your children. And as for your guardians, none of them, whether present or absent, but will certainly be pleased with me (for your marriage)." So she said to her son: "O Umar, get up and marry me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)," and he married her to him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "I will not give you less than what I gave your sister so-and-so (among the Mothers of the Believers): two earthenware jars, two hand mills, and a leather pillow stuffed with palm fibre." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to come to her while she was nursing (Sayyidah) Zaynab, and whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, she would take the child and place her in her lap; and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was extremely modest and of noble character. Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him), who was her foster brother, perceived this situation. One day, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to come to her, Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, went in to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), lifted Zaynab from her lap and said: "Leave this child through whom you have been causing hardship to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (in private)." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, entered the house, looked around here and there and began saying: "Where is Zunab (Zaynab)? What has Zunab done? Why is it that I do not see Zunab?" She said: Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and took her away. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) consummated the marriage with his wife and said to her: "If you wish, I will stay with you for seven days, as I have set seven days for the other wives?"
