Hadith of Umm Salma (may Allah be pleased with her)

حَدِيثُ أُمِّ سَلْمَى (١)، ٢٧٦١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ (٢) بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلْمَى (٣) ، قَالَتْ: اشْتَكَتْ فَاطِمَةُ شَكْوَاهَا الَّتِي قُبِضَتْ، ، فِيهَا، فَكُنْتُ أُمَرِّضُهَا، فَأَصْبَحَتْ يَوْمًا كَأَمْثَلِ مَا رَأَيْتُهَا فِي شَكْوَاهَا تِلْكَ، قَالَتْ: وَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ، فَقَالَتْ: " يَا أُمَّهْ اسْكُبِي لِي غُسْلًا "، فَاغْتَسَلَتْ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا رَأَيْتُهَا تَغْتَسِلُ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: " يَا أُمَّهْ أَعْطِينِي ثِيَابِيَ الْجُدُدَ "، فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا فَلَبِسَتْهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: " يَا أُمَّهْ قَدِّمِي لِي فِرَاشِي وَسَطَ الْبَيْتِ " فَفَعَلْتُ، وَاضْطَجَعَتْ، وَاسْتَقْبَلَتِ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَجَعَلَتْ يَدَهَا تَحْتَ خَدِّهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: " يَا أُمَّهْ إِنِّي مَقْبُوضَةٌ الْآنَ، وَقَدْ تَطَهَّرْتُ الْآَنَ (١) ، فَلَا يَكْشِفُنِي أَحَدٌ " فَقُبِضَتْ مَكَانَهَا قَالَتْ: فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ (٢)، ، •

It is narrated from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) fell ill with her final illness, I was nursing her. One day I came to her and found her in such a good state as I had not seen during her days of illness. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had gone out for some work at that time. Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to me: "Mother! Prepare water for me to bathe." I prepared water for her to bathe. She bathed herself in such an excellent manner that I had not seen her bathe like that during her illness before. Then she said: "Mother! Give me my new clothes." I gave her those clothes, she put them on, and said: "Mother! Make my bed in the middle of the house." I did so, and she came and lay down facing the Qiblah, placed her hand under her cheek, and said: "Mother! Now my soul is about to be taken. I have already bathed, so let no one remove my clothes from my body." Thus, her soul was taken at that very place, and when Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came, I informed him.

[قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ] : (١) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْوَرَكَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ مِثْلَهُ (٢)، ،
