That the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "You have been shown to me twice in my dream. I saw you pictured on a
piece of silk and some-one said (to me). 'This is your wife.' When I uncovered the picture, I saw that it
was yours. I said, 'If this is from Allah, it will be done."

The Prophet (ﷺ) engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home
of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and
my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She
called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand
and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became
Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house.
There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good
luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's
Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a
girl of nine years of age.
