Hadith 2685
The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon and said, "Zaid took the flag and was martyred, and then Ja`far took
the flag and was martyred, and then `Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and was martyred too, and
then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag though he was not appointed as a commander and Allah made
him victorious." The Prophet (ﷺ) further added, "It would not please us to have them with us." Aiyub, a
sub-narrator, added, "Or the Prophet, shedding tears, said, 'It would not please them to be with us.'"
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 16

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the
believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I
would certainly never remain behind any Sariya' (army-unit) setting out in Allah's Cause. By Him in
Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and then get resurrected and
then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again
and then get martyred. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 15

Um Haram said, "Once the Prophet (ﷺ) slept in my house near to me and got up smiling. I said, 'What
makes you smile?' He replied, 'Some of my followers who (i.e. in a dream) were presented to me
sailing on this green sea like kings on thrones.' I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah to make me
one of them." So the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked Allah for her and went to sleep again. He did the same (i.e. got
up and told his dream) and Um Haran repeated her question and he gave the same reply. She said,
"Invoke Allah to make me one of them." He said, "You are among the first batch." Later on it
happened that she went out in the company of her husband 'Ubada bin As-Samit who went for Jihad
and it was the first time the Muslims undertook a naval expedition led by Mu awiya. When the
expedition came to an end and they were returning to Sham, a riding animal was presented to her to
ride, but the animal let her fall and thus she died. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 17
