Home Hadith Hadith 2763
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to proceed on a journey, he used to draw lots amongst his wives and
would take the one upon whom the lot fell. Once, before setting out for Jihad, he drew lots amongst us
and the lot came to me; so I went with the Prophet; and that happened after the revelation of the Verse
Hijab (i.e. veiling).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 94

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to the daughter of Milhan and reclined there (and slept) and then (woke up)
smiling. She asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What makes you smile?" He replied, (I dreamt that) some
people amongst my followers were sailing on the green sea in Allah's Cause, resembling kings on
thrones." She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah to make me one of them." He said, "O Allah! Let
her be one of them." Then he (slept again and woke up and) smiled. She asked him the same question
and he gave the same reply. She said, "Invoke Allah to make me one of them." He replied, ''You will
be amongst the first group of them; you will not be amongst the last." Later on she married 'Ubada bin
As-Samit and then she sailed on the sea with bint Qaraza, Mu'awiya's wife (for Jihad). On her return,
she mounted her riding animal, which threw her down breaking her neck, and she died on falling
down.

On the day (of the battle) of Uhad when (some) people retreated and left the Prophet, I saw `Aisha
bint Abu Bakr and Um Sulaim, with their robes tucked up so that the bangles around their ankles were
visible hurrying with their water skins (in another narration it is said, "carrying the water skins on
their backs"). Then they would pour the water in the mouths of the people, and return to fill the water
skins again and came back again to pour water in the mouths of the people.
