Hadith of Umm Waraqah bint Abdullah bin al-Harith al-Ansari (RA)

حديث أم (1) ورقة بنت عبد الله بن الحارث الأنصاري

Hadith 1246:1

Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, he said: Al-Walid ibn Abdullah ibn Jumay' narrated to us, he said: Abd al-Rahman ibn Khallad al-Ansari and my grandmother narrated to me, from Umm Waraqah bint Abdullah ibn al-Harith, that the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to visit her every Friday. She said: "O Prophet of Allah—on the day of Badr—will you permit me to go out with you to nurse your sick and treat your wounded, so that perhaps Allah may grant me martyrdom?" He said: "Stay in your house, for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will grant you martyrdom." She had emancipated a slave girl and a slave boy of hers to be free after her death. It became long for them, so they smothered her with a velvet blanket until she died, and they fled. Umar was approached and it was said to him: "Umm Waraqah has been killed by her slave boy and her slave girl, and they have fled." Umar stood among the people and said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to visit Umm Waraqah and say: 'Let us go to visit the martyr.' And indeed, so-and-so, her slave girl, and so-and-so, her slave boy, have smothered her and then fled. Let no one harbor them, and whoever finds them, let him bring them." They were brought, and they were crucified, and they were the first to be crucified.

حدثنا أبو نعيم، قال: حدثنا الوليد بن عبد الله بن جميع، قال: حدثني عبد الرحمن بن خلاد الأنصاري، وجدتي، عن أم ورقة بنت عبد الله بن الحارث، أن نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يزورها كل جمعة، وأنها قالت: يا نبي الله - يوم بدر - أتأذن لي فأخرج معك أمرض مرضاكم، وأداوي جرحاكم، لعل الله يهدي لي شهادة؟ قال: " قري، فإن الله عز وجل يهدي لك شهادة "، وكانت أعتقت جارية لها وغلاما عن دبر منها، فطال عليهما فغماها في القطيفة حتى ماتت وهربا، فأتي عمر فقيل له: إن أم ورقة قد قتلها غلامها وجاريتها وهربا، فقام عمر في الناس فقال: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يزور أم ورقة يقول: " انطلقوا نزور الشهيدة "، وإن فلانة جاريتها وفلانا غلامها غماها ثم هربا، فلا يؤويهما أحد، ومن وجدهما فليأت بهما، فأتي بهما فصلبا، فكانا أول مصلوبين . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
