Musnad of Umm Salamah, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6908 — The son of Sayyidah Umm Salamah told me
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ جَاءَ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا عَدَلَ بِهِ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : إِنَّهُ لَا تُصِيبُ أَحَدًا مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَسْتَرْجِعَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي هَذِهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَخْلِفْنِي مِنْهَا بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا ، إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ : فَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، قُلْتُ : اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي هَذِهِ ، وَلَمْ تَطِبْ نَفْسِي أَنْ أَقُولَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَخْلِفْنِي مِنْهَا بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا ، قُلْتُ : مَنْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ؟ أَلَيْسَ ، وَلَيْسَ ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ ذَلِكَ ، فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَخْطُبُهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ، إِنَّ فِيَّ خِلَالًا ثَلَاثًا : أَنَا امْرَأَةٌ مُصْبِيَةٌ ، وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الْغَيْرَةِ ، وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَ هَاهُنَا مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي أَحَدٌ شَاهِدًا فَيُزَوِّجُنِي ، فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَشَدَّ مِمَّا غَضِبَ لِنَفْسِهِ حِينَ رَدَّتْهُ ، فَأَتَاهَا عُمَرُ ، فَقَالَ : أَنْتِ الَّتِي تَرُدِّينَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَا تَرُدِّينَهُ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، فِيَّ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، أَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ مِنْ غَيْرَتِكِ فَإِنِّي أَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَهَا ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ مِنْ صِبْيَتِكِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ سَيَكْفِيهِمْ ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكِ أَحَدٌ شَاهِدًا فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكِ أَحَدٌ شَاهِدٌ وَلَا غَائِبٌ يَكْرَهُنِي ، فَقَالَتْ لِابْنِهَا : زَوِّجْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَزَوَّجَهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُنْقِصْكِ مِمَّا أَعْطَيْتُ فُلَانَةَ .
قَالَ ثَابِتٌ لِابْنِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ : وَمَا أَعْطَى فُلَانَةَ ؟ قَالَ : جَرَّتَيْنِ تَضَعُ فِيهِمَا حَاجَتَهَا ، وَرَحًى ، وَوِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ .
ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْتِيهَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ وَضَعَتْ زَيْنَبَ ، أَصْغَرَ وَلَدِهَا ، فِي حَجْرِهَا ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمَّا رَآهَا انْصَرَفَ ، وَكَانَ حَيِيًّا كَرِيمًا ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْتِيهَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ وَضَعَتْهَا فِي حَجْرِهَا ، فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْتِيهَا ، فَوَضَعَتْهَا فِي حَجْرِهَا ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَمَّارٌ مُسْرِعًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْ حَجْرِهَا ، وَقَالَ : هَاتِ هَذِهِ الْمَشْقُوحَةَ الَّتِي مَنَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَاجَتَهُ ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمْ يَرَهَا قَالَ : أَيْنَ زُنَابُ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَخَذَهَا عَمَّارٌ ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَكَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاءِ كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ مِنْهُنَّ لَا تَجِدُ مَا يَجِدْنَ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ .
قَالَ ثَابِتٌ لِابْنِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ : وَمَا أَعْطَى فُلَانَةَ ؟ قَالَ : جَرَّتَيْنِ تَضَعُ فِيهِمَا حَاجَتَهَا ، وَرَحًى ، وَوِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ .
ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْتِيهَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ وَضَعَتْ زَيْنَبَ ، أَصْغَرَ وَلَدِهَا ، فِي حَجْرِهَا ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمَّا رَآهَا انْصَرَفَ ، وَكَانَ حَيِيًّا كَرِيمًا ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْتِيهَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ وَضَعَتْهَا فِي حَجْرِهَا ، فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْتِيهَا ، فَوَضَعَتْهَا فِي حَجْرِهَا ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَمَّارٌ مُسْرِعًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْ حَجْرِهَا ، وَقَالَ : هَاتِ هَذِهِ الْمَشْقُوحَةَ الَّتِي مَنَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَاجَتَهُ ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمْ يَرَهَا قَالَ : أَيْنَ زُنَابُ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَخَذَهَا عَمَّارٌ ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَكَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاءِ كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ مِنْهُنَّ لَا تَجِدُ مَا يَجِدْنَ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ .
It is narrated from Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him): The son of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) told me that Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: I have heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that is dearer to me than such-and-such, and I do not know what he compared it with. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, whenever a calamity befalls anyone and at that time he says the words of return to Allah (Inna lillah), then makes this supplication: 'Allahumma indaka ahtasibu musibati hadhihi, Allahumma akhlifni minha bi-khayrin minha' (O Allah, with You I seek reward for this calamity of mine; O Allah, replace it for me with something better than it), Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will certainly grant it to him (something better)." Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then, when the calamity of Sayyiduna Abu Salamah's (may Allah be pleased with him) death struck, I (first) said: O Allah, with You I seek reward for this calamity of mine; but my heart was not willing to say, "O Allah, replace it for me with something better than it." I would say (in my heart): Who could be better than Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him)? Did he not have such-and-such qualities? Then at last I recited that supplication. So when her waiting period was over, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her a proposal of marriage. She replied: Welcome to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but there are three things in me (that stand in the way): first, I am a woman with children; second, I am a very jealous woman; and third, none of my guardians is present here who could marry me off. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became more intensely angry for the sake of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than he had been for himself when she turned him away. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her and said: Is it you who turns away the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? On what grounds are you rejecting his proposal? She said: O Ibn al-Khattab, I have such-and-such excuses. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her and said: "As for your jealousy that you mentioned, I will supplicate to Allah to remove it from you; as for the children you mentioned, Allah will suffice them; and as for your saying that none of your guardians is present here, there is none among your guardians, whether present or absent, who would dislike me (for this match)." Then Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her son: Get up and marry (me to) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So he married her to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Know that I have not given you, as your dower, less than the things I gave so-and-so." Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) asked the son of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her): What had he (peace and blessings be upon him) given her? He said: Two large jars in which she kept her necessities, a hand mill, and a leather pillow stuffed with palm fibre. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went away. After that, whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her (to be alone with her), as soon as she saw him she would take her youngest daughter, Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her), into her lap. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and saw this, he would turn back (out of his great modesty); he (peace and blessings be upon him) was very modest and noble. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came again, and she again took the child into her lap, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went back. He (peace and blessings be upon him) came a third time, and she again sat her in her lap. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) came hurrying ahead of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), snatched the child from her lap and said (with affection and reproach): Bring this child here who has kept the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from his need. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and, not finding the child there, asked: "Where is Zunab (an affectionate name for Zaynab)?" She said that Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) had taken her. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went in to his wife. After that, Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) was among the other Mothers of the Believers as though she were not one of them, that is, she no longer felt the kind of jealousy that the other wives felt.
