Umm Salamah reported: While I was lying with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a bed cover I menstruated, so I slipped away and I took up the clothes (which I wore) in menses. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Have you menstruated? I said: Yes. He called me and I lay down.

Umm Salamah reported: Umm Sulaim went to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , Allah is not ashamed of the truth. Is bathing necessary for a woman when she has a sexual dream? Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes, when she sees the liquid (vaginal secretion). Umm Salamah said: Messenger of Allah, does a woman have sexual dream? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Let your hand be covered with dust, in what way does her child resemble her?

Zainab bint Umm Salamah (the wife of the Holy Prophet) reported that Umm Salamah and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took a bath from the same vessel.

Umm Salamah reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who has closely plaited hair on my head; should I undo it for taking a bath, because of sexual intercourse? He (the Holy Prophet) said: No, it is enough for you to throw three handfuls of water on your head and then pour water over yourself, and you shall be purified.

Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, reported that 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas, 'Abdul Rahman bin Azhar, al-Miswar bin Makhrama sent him to 'A'isha, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , telling him to give her their greetings, and ask her about the two rak'ahs after the afternoon prayer, (for)" we have heard that you observe them whereas it has been conveyed to us that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited their observance." Ibn 'Abbas said: I along with 'Umar bin al-Khattab dissuaded people to do so (to observe two rak'ahs of prayer). Kuraib said: I went to her ('A'isha) and conveyed to her the message with which I was sent. She said: (Better) ask Umm Salamah. So I went to them (those who had sent him to Hadrat 'A'isha) and informed them about what she had said. They sent me back to Umm Salamah with that with which I was sent to 'A'isha. Umm Salamah said: I beard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibiting them, and then afterwards I saw him observing them. And when he observed them (two rak'ahs) he had already observed the 'Asr prayer. Then he (the Holy Prophet) came, while there were with me ladies of Banu Haram, a tribe of the Ansar and he (the Holy Prophet) observed them (the two rak'ahs). I sent a slave-girl to him asking her to stand by his side and say to him that Umm Salamah says: Messenger of Allah, I heard you prohibiting these two rak'ahs, whereas I saw you observing them; and if he (the Holy Prophet) points with his hand (to wait), then do wait. The slave-girl did like that. He (the Holy Prophet) pointed out with his hand and she got aside and waited, and when he had finished (the prayer) he said: Daughter of Abu Umayya. you have asked about the two rak'ahs after the 'Asr prayer. Some people of 'Abu al-Qais came to me for embracing Islam and hindered me from observing the two rak'ahs which come after the noon prayer. So those are the two I have been praying.

Umm Salamah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If any Muslim who suffers some calamity says, what Allah has commanded him," We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it," Allah will give him something better than it in exchange. When Abu Salama died she said: What Muslim is better than Abu Salama whose family was the first to emigrate to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . I then said the words, and Allah gave me God's Messenger (ﷺ) in exchange. She said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent Hatib bin Abu Balta'a to deliver me the message of marriage with him. I said to him: I have a daughter (as my dependant) and I am of jealous temperament. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So far as her daughter is concerned, we would supplicate Allah, that He may free her (of her responsibility) and I would also supplicate Allah to do away with (her) jealous (temperament).

Umm Salamah, the wife of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If any servant (of Allah) who suffers a calamity says:" We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it," ' Allah will give him reward for affliction, and would give him something better than it in exchange. She (Umm Salamah) said: When Abu Salama died. I uttered (these very words) as I was commanded (to do) by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . So Allah gave me better in exchange than him. i. e. (I was taken as the wife of) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .

Umm Salamah, the wife of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying like the hadith transmitted by Abu Usama, but with this addition that she said:" When Abu Salama died I said: Who is better than Abu Salama, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and Allah decided for me and I said (these words contained in the supplication mentioned above) and I was married to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .

Umm Salamah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Whenever you visit the sick or the dead, supplicate for good because angels say "Amen" to whatever you say. She added: When Abu Salama died, I went to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Salama has died. He told me to recite: "O Allah! forgive me and him (Abu Salama) and give me a better substitute than he." So I said (this), and Allah gave me in exchange Muhammad, who is better for me than him (Abu Salama).

Umm Salamah reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace be upon came to Abu Salama (as he died). His eyes were fixedly open. He closed them, and then said: When the soul is taken away the sight follows it. Some of the people of his family wept and wailed. So he said: Do not supplicate for yourselves anything but good, for angels say "Amen" to what you say. He then said: O Allah, forgive Abu Salama, raise his degree among those who are rightly guided, grant him a successor in his descendants who remain. Forgive us and him, O Lord of the Universe, and make his grave spacious, and grant him light in it.

Umm Salamah reported: When Abu Salama died I said: I am a stranger in a strange land; I shall weep for him in a manner that would be talked of. I made preparation for weeping for him when a woman from the upper side of the city came there who intended to help me (in weeping). She happened to come across the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: Do you intend to bring the devil into a house from which Allah has twice driven him out? I (Umm Salamah), therefore, refrained from weeping and I did not weep.

Umm Salamah said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) whether there is a reward for me if I spend on Abu Salama's sons, and I am not going to abandon them in this state (of helplessness) for they are my sons. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. For you is the reward for what you spend on them.

Umm Salamah (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) took an oath that he would not go to some of his wives for the whole of the month. When twenty-nine days had passed he (the Holy Prophet) went to them in the morning or in the evening. Upon this it was said to him: Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , you took an oath that you would not come to us for a month, whereupon he said: The month may also consist of twenty-nine days.

Abu Bakr (RA) (he is Abu Bakr (RA) bin Abdul Rahman bin Harith) reported: I heard Abu Hurairah (RA) narrating that he who is overtaken by dawn in a state of seminal emission should not observe fast. I made a mention of it to 'Abdul Rahman bin Harith (i. e. to his father) but he denied it. 'Abdul Rahman went and I also went along with him till we came to'A'isha and Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with both of them) and Abdul Rahman asked them about it. Both of them said: (At times it so happened) that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) woke up in the morning in a state of junub (but without seminal emission in a dream) and observed fast. He (the narrator) said: We then proceeded till we went to Marwan and Abdul Rahman made a mention of it to him. Upon this Marwan said: I stress upon you (with an oath) that you better go to Abu Hurairah (RA) and refer to him what is said about it. So we came to Abu Hurairah (RA) and Abu Bakr (RA) had been with us throughout and 'Abdul Rahman made a mention of it to him, whereupon Abu Hurairah (RA) said: Did they (the two wives of the Holy Prophet) tell you this? He replied: Yes. Upon this ( Abu Hurairah (RA) ) said: They have better knowledge. Abu Hurairah (RA) then attributed that what was said about it to Fadl bin 'Abbas and said: I heard it from Fadl and not from the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) . Abu Hurairah (RA) then retracted from what he used to say about it. Ibn Juraij (one of the narrators) reported: I asked 'Abdul Malik, if they (the two wives) said (made the statement) in regard to Ramadan, whereupon he said: It was so, and he (the Holy Prophet) (woke up in the) morning in a state of junub which was not due to the wet dream and then observed fast.

Abu Bakr (RA) reported that Marwan sent him to Umm Salamah to ask whether a person should observe fast who is in a state of junub and the dawn breaks upon him, whereupon she said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (was at times) junbi on account of intercourse and not due to sexual dream, and the dawn broke upon him, but he neither broke the fast nor recompensed.

Abu Bakr (RA) bin 'Abdul Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham reported on the authority of 'A'isha and Umm Salamah, the wives of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) : The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at times got up in the morning in a state of junub on account of having a sexual intercourse (with his wives during night) but not due to sexual dreams in the month of Ramadan, and would observe fast.

Sulaiman bin Yasar reported that he asked Umm Salamah whether a person (who gets up) in the morning in a state of junub should observe fast. She said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (at times) got up in the morning in a state of junub, not because of sexual dreams (but on account of intercourse at night), and then observed fast.

Umm Salamah reported: I made a complaint to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of my ailment, whereupon be said: Circumambulate behind the people while riding. She said: So I circumambulated and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was at that time praying towards the side of the House and he was reciting al-Tur and a Book Inscribed (i. e. Sura Iii. of the Qur'an).

Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , said: It was said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) : Is not the daughter of Hamza a suitable match for you? Or it was said: Why don't you propose to marry the daughter of Hamza, the son of Abdul Muttalib? Thereupon he said: Hamza is my brother by reason of fosterage.

Umm Salamah, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , used to say that all wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) disclaimed the idea that one with this type of fosterage (having been suckled after the proper period) should come to them and said to 'A'isha: By Allah, we do not find this but a sort of concession given by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) only for Salim, and no one was going to be allowed to enter (our houses) with this type of fosterage and we do not subscribe to this view.

'Abdul Malik bin Abu Bakr (RA) bin Abdul Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham reported on the authority of his father from Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married Umm Salamah, he stayed with her for three nights, and said: There is no lack of estimation on the part of your husband for you. If you wish I can stay with you for a week, but in case I stay with you for a week, then I shall have to stay for a week with all my wives.

Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married her, and he (the narrator) made mention of so many things in this connection (and one of them was this) that he said: If you desire that I spend a week with you, I shall have to spend a week with my (other) wives, and if spend a week with you, I shall have to spend a week with my (other) wives.

Abu Salama bin 'Abdul Rahman and Ibn 'Abbas (RA) got together in the house of Abu Hurairah (RA) and began to discuss about the woman who gave birth to a child a few nights after the death of her husband. Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: Her 'Idda is that period which is longer of the two (between four months and ten days and the birth of the child, whichever is longer). AbuSalama, however said: Her period of 'Idda is over (with the birth of the child), and they were contending with each other over this issue, whereupon Abu Hurairah (RA) said: I subscribe (to the view) held by my nephew (i. e. Abu Salama). They sent Kuraib (the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas) to Umm Salamah to ask her about it. He came (back) to them and informed them that Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) said that Subai'ah al-Aslamiyya gave birth to a child after the death of her husband when the few flights (had hardly) passed and she made mention of that to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he commanded her to marry.

Zainab (Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard my mother Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) as saying: A woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger. I have a daughter whose husband has died and there has developed some trouble in her eye; should we apply collyrium to it? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: No (repeating it twice or thrice, saying only, NO" all the time). Then he said: It is only four months and ten days, whereas in the preIslamic period none of you threw away the dung until one year had passed.

This hadith was narrated by Zainab from her mother and from Zainab, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , or from some other lady from among the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) .

Zainab bint Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) reported on the authority of her mother that a woman lost her husband. As her eyes were ailing, they (her kith and kin) entertained fear about her eyes, so they came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and sought permission for the use of collyrium, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: One among you used to spend one year in a dungeon dressed in worst clothes. And at the end of this period she threw dung at the dog which happened to pass that way and then she came out (of her 'Idda). Can't she (wait) even for four months and ten days?

Humaid bin Nafi' narrated two traditions from Umm Salamah dealing with collyrium and the other hadith from the wives of Allah's Prophet (ﷺ) except with this that no mention was made of Zainab.

Zainab bint Abu Salama reported: Umm Salamah and Umm Habiba (RA) were talking with each other (and saying) that a woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and mentioned to him that her daughter had lost her husband, and her eyes were sore and she wanted to use collyrium, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: One among you used to throw dung at the end of a year, and now (this abstinence from adornment) is only for four months and ten days.

Umm Salamah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: You bring to me, for (judgment) your disputes, some of you perhaps being more eloquent in their plea than others, so I give judgment on their behalf according to what I hear from them. (Bear in mind, in my judgment) if I slice off anything for him from the right of his brother, he should not accept that, for I sliced off for him a portion from the Hell.

Umm Salamah, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard the clamour of contenders at the door of his apartment. He went to them, and said: I am a human being and the claimants bring to me (the dispute) and perhaps some of them are more eloquent than the others. I judge him to be on the right, and thus decide in his favour. So he whom I, by my judgment, (give the undue share) out of the right of a Muslim, I give him a portion of Fire; he may burden himself with it or abandon it.

It has been narrated on the authority of Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: In the near future there will be Amirs and you will like their good deeds and dislike their bad deeds. One who sees through their bad deeds (and tries to prevent their repetition by his band or through his speech), is absolved from blame, but one who hates their bad deeds (in the heart of his heart, being unable to prevent their recurrence by his hand or his tongue), is (also) fafe ( so far as God's wrath is concerned). But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them is spiritually ruined. People asked (the Holy Prophet): Shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayers.

It has been narrated (through a different chain of tmnamitters) on the authority of Umm Salamah (wife of the Holy Prophet) that he said: Amirs will be appointed over you, and you will find them doing good as well as bad deeds. One who hates their bad deeds is absolved from blame. One who disapproves of their bad deeds is (also) safe (so far as Divine wrath is concerned). But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them (is doomed). People asked: Messenger of Allah, shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayer. (" Hating and disapproving" refers to liking and disliking from the heart.)

Another version of the tradition narrated on the same authority attributes the same words to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) except that it replaces kariha with ankhara and vice versa.

Another version omits a portion at the end of the tradition-a portion which begins with man radiya wa taba and ends with the last word of the tradition.

Umm Salamah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: When any one of you intending to sacrifice the animal enters in the month (of Dhu'l-Hijja) he should not get his hair or nails touched (cut). It was said to Sufyan that some of the (scholars) did not deem this hadith to be Maffu'. He said: But I deem it as Marfu' (i. e. chain of narration traceable right up to the Holy Prophet).

Umm Salamah reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone of you intends to offer sacrifice he should not get his hair cut or nails trimmed.

Umm Salamah reported (these words) directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : If anyone has in his possession a sacrificial animal to offer as a sacrifice (on 'Id al-Adha), he should not get his hair cut and nails trimmed after he has entered the first days of Dhu'l Hijja

Umm Salamah, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to have said: He who has a sacrificial animal with him whom (he intends) to offer as sacrifice, and he enters the month of Dhu'I-Hijja, he should not get his hair cut or nails trimmed until he has sacrificed the animal.

'Amr bin Muslim bin 'Ammar al-Laithi reported: While we were in a bathroom just before 'Id al-Adha some of the persons tried to remove the hair with the help of hair-removing chemicals. Thereupon some of the people owning the bath (or some of the people sitting therein) said that Sa'id bin Musayyib did not approve of it, or he prohibited it. Then I met Sa'id bin Musayyib and made a mention of that to him, whereupon he said: O my nephew, this is the hadith which has been forgotten, and abandoned. Umm Salamah, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , narrated to me Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said as narrated above.

Amr bin Muslim al-Jundani reported that Ibn Musayyib had told him that it was Umm Salamah, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , who had informed him of that as narrated above.
