Hadith of Asma' bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her)

حَدِيثُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ (١)، ٢٧٤٦٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى الْجُهَنِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَتْ: حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ، مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَعْدِي نَبِيٌّ " (٢)،

Musa Jahni reports that once I was present in the service of Fatimah bint Ali, she said that Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) told me that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "You have the same relation to me as Harun had to Musa, except that there will be no prophet after me."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، وَعَفَّانُ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ - قَالَ: يَزِيدُ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ، وَقَالَ: عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ سَمِعْتُ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ عُتَيْبَةَ (٣) - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنِ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ أَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " تَسَلَّبِي ثَلَاثًا (٤) ثُمَّ اصْنَعِي مَا شِئْتِ " قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، ، مِثْلَهُ (١)،

It is narrated from Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to us and said: "Wear mourning clothes for three days, then do as you wish." This hadith is also narrated through another chain.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ: أَوَّلُ مَا اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ فَاشْتَدَّ مَرَضُهُ حَتَّى أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَتَشَاوَرَ نِسَاؤُهُ، ، فِي لَدِّهِ فَلَدُّوهُ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ مَا هَذَا فَقُلْنَا هَذَا فِعْلُ نِسَاءٍ جِئْنَ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ وَكَانَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ فِيهِنَّ قَالُوا: كُنَّا نَتَّهِمُ فِيكَ ذَاتَ الْجَنْبِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَدَاءٌ مَا كَانَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَقْرَفُنِي بِهِ لَا يَبْقَيَنَّ فِي هَذَا (١) الْبَيْتِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا الْتَدَّ إِلَّا عَمُّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَعْنِي الْعَبَّاسَ، " قَالَ: فَلَقَدِ الْتَدَّتْ مَيْمُونَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَإِنَّهَا لَصَائِمَةٌ لِعَزْمَةِ (٢) رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (ﷺ) first fell ill in the house of Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The illness of the Prophet (ﷺ) increased, until he became unconscious. The pure wives consulted among themselves about giving medicine to the blessed mouth of the Prophet (ﷺ), so they put medicine in the blessed mouth of the Prophet (ﷺ). When the Prophet (ﷺ) regained consciousness, he asked: "What is this?" We submitted that this is the work of your pure wives who have come from here, and pointed towards the land of Abyssinia. Among them was Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) as well. She submitted: O Messenger of Allah! We thought that you were suffering from the illness of pleurisy. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: This is such an illness that Allah Almighty will never afflict me with. No one should remain in this house whose mouth is not given medicine, except for the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), that is, Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). Thus, on that day, medicine was put in the mouth of Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), even though she was fasting that day, because the Prophet (ﷺ) had given a very strict order for it.

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ (١) بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الزُّرَقِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَنِي جَعْفَرٍ تُصِيبُهُمُ الْعَيْنُ أَفَأَسْتَرْقِي لَهُمْ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ فَلَوْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ سَابِقٌ الْقَدَرَ لَسَبَقَتْهُ الْعَيْنُ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that once she submitted in the court of the Messenger: O Messenger of Allah! The children of Ja'far are affected by the evil eye, can I perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) on them? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Yes! If anything could overtake destiny, it would be the evil eye."

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ يَعْنِى ابْنَ يَزِيدَ الْأَيْلِيَّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو (١) شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ صَاحِبَةَ عَائِشَةَ الَّتِي هَيَّأَتْهَا وَأَدْخَلَتْهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعِي نِسْوَةٌ قَالَتْ: فَوَاللهِ مَا وَجَدْنَا عِنْدَهُ قِرًى إِلَّا قَدَحًا مِنْ لَبَنٍ، قَالَتْ: فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ عَائِشَةَ فَاسْتَحْيَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ فَقُلْنَا: لَا تَرُدِّي يَدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذِي مِنْهُ فَأَخَذَتْهُ عَلَى حَيَاءٍ فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: نَاوِلِي صَوَاحِبَكِ فَقُلْنَا: لَا نَشْتَهِيهِ فَقَالَ: " لَا تَجْمَعْنَ جُوعًا وَكَذِبًا " قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: إِنْ قَالَتْ إِحْدَانَا لِشَيْءٍ، ، تَشْتَهِيهِ لَا أَشْتَهِيهِ يُعَدُّ ذَلِكَ كَذِبًا قَالَ: " إِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يُكْتَبُ كَذِبًا حَتَّى تُكْتَبَ الْكُذَيْبَةُ كُذَيْبَةً " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I was the one who prepared Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and presented her to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ), and there were some other women with me. By Allah! We found nothing with the Prophet (ﷺ) for hospitality except a bowl of milk. The Prophet (ﷺ) first drank from it himself, then handed the bowl to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She felt shy. We said to her: Do not return the Prophet’s (ﷺ) hand, rather take the bowl. So, she shyly took the bowl and drank a little milk from it. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Give it to your companions.” We said: We do not desire it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Do not combine hunger and lying.” I said: O Messenger of Allah! If any woman among us desires something but says she does not desire it, will that be counted as a lie? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “A lie is written as a lie, and a small lie is written as a small lie.”
