حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ , وهَاشِمٌ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مَوْلَى أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ , أَنَّها قَالَتْ : تُوُفِّيَ ابْنِي ، فَجَزِعْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقُلْتُ لِلَّذِي يَغْسِلُهُ : لَا تَغْسِلْ ابْنِي بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ ، فَتَقْتُلَهُ ، فَانْطَلَقَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِهَا ، فَتَبَسَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَا قَالَتْ ؟ طَالَ عُمْرُهَا " , قَالَ : فَلَا أَعْلَمُ امْرَأَةً عُمِّرَتْ مَا عُمِّرَتْ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Qais that one of my sons passed away, due to which I was very restless. In a state of unawareness, I said to the person giving him the ritual bath, "Do not bathe my son with cold water, otherwise he will die." Hazrat Ukasha (who was her brother) went to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and related her words. The Prophet (peace be upon him) smiled and said, "Whoever has said this sentence, may her life be long." The narrator says, "I have not seen any woman older than her."
