(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيُّ ، عَنْ
كَرِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ
سَلْمَى بِنْتِ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا اسْتُشْهِدَ ، فَأَتَتْ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ اسْتُشْهِدَ زَوْجِي ، وَقَدْ خَطَبَنِي الرِّجَالُ ، فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ ، فَتَرْجُو لِي إِنْ اجْتَمَعْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ نَقَلْتَ هَذَا مُذْ قَاعَدْنَاكَ ! قَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ أُمَّتِي بِي لُحُوقًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ " .
Hazrat Salma bint Jabir says that her husband was martyred. She came to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "My husband has been martyred. Many people have sent me proposals of marriage, but I have refused to marry for the rest of my life. Do you hope that if I and he are united in Paradise, I will be counted among his wives?" He replied, "Yes!" A man, upon hearing this, said, "Since we have seen you sitting here, we have never seen you do this (that you assured someone in this way)?" He replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The first woman from my Ummah to meet me in Paradise will be a woman from the Quraysh.'"
