Narrated Anas bin Malik:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to visit Umm Haram bint Milhan, who would offer him meals. Umm Haram was the wife of Ubada bin As-Samit. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), once visited her and she provided him with food and started looking for lice in his head. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) slept, and afterwards woke up smiling. Umm Haram asked, "What causes you to smile, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said. "Some of my followers who (in a dream) were presented before me as fighters in Allah's cause (on board a ship) amidst this sea caused me to smile; they were as kings on the thrones (or like kings on the thrones)." (Ishaq, a sub-narrator is not sure as to which expression the Prophet (ﷺ) used.) Umm Haram said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah that he makes me one of them. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invoked Allah for her and slept again and woke up smiling. Once again Umm Haram asked, "What makes you smile, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He replied, "Some of my followers were presented to me as fighters in Allah's Cause," repeating the same dream. Umm Haram said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah that He makes me one of them." He said, "You are amongst the first ones." It happened that she sailed on the sea during the Caliphate of Mu'awiya bin Abi Sufyan, and after she disembarked, she fell down from her riding animal and died

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and His Apostle, offers prayer perfectly and fasts the month of Ramadan, will rightfully be granted Paradise by Allah, no matter whether he fights in Allah's Cause or remains in the land where he is born." The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Shall we acquaint the people with this good news?" He said, "Paradise has one-hundred grades which Allah has reserved for the Mujahidin who fight in His Cause, and the distance between each of two grades is like the distance between the Heaven and the Earth. So, when you ask Allah (for something), ask for Al-firdaus which is the best and highest part of Paradise." (The sub-narrator added, "I think the Prophet also said, 'Above it (i.e. Al-Firdaus) is the Throne of Beneficent (i.e. Allah), and from it originate the rivers of Paradise
ہم سے یحییٰ بن صالح نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا ہم سے فلیح نے بیان کیا ‘ ان سے ہلال بن علی نے ‘ ان سے عطاء بن یسار نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا جو شخص اللہ اور اس کے رسول پر ایمان لائے اور نماز قائم کرے اور رمضان کے روزے رکھے تو اللہ تعالیٰ پر حق ہے کہ وہ جنت میں داخل کرے گا خواہ اللہ کے راستے میں وہ جہاد کرے یا اسی جگہ پڑا رہے جہاں پیدا ہوا تھا۔ صحابہ نے عرض کیا یا رسول اللہ! کیا ہم لوگوں کو اس کی بشارت نہ دے دیں۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جنت میں سو درجے ہیں جو اللہ تعالیٰ نے اپنے راستے میں جہاد کرنے والوں کے لیے تیار کئے ہیں ‘ ان کے دو درجوں میں اتنا فاصلہ ہے جتنا آسمان و زمین میں ہے۔ اس لیے جب اللہ تعالیٰ سے مانگنا ہو تو فردوس مانگو کیونکہ وہ جنت کا سب سے درمیانی حصہ اور جنت کے سب سے بلند درجے پر ہے۔ یحییٰ بن صالح نے کہا کہ میں سمجھتا ہوں یوں کہا کہ اس کے اوپر پروردگار کا عرش ہے اور وہیں سے جنت کی نہریں نکلتی ہیں۔ محمد بن فلیح نے اپنے والد سے «وفوقه عرش الرحمن» ہی کی روایت کی ہے۔
Narrated Anas bin Malik: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 Haram 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

Narrated Anas:The Prophet (ﷺ) sent seventy men from the tribe of Bani Sulaim to the tribe of Bani Amir. When they reached there, my maternal uncle said to them, "I will go ahead of you, and if they allow me to convey the message of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (it will be all right); otherwise you will remain close to me." So he went ahead of them and the pagans granted him security But while he was reporting the message of the Prophet (ﷺ) , they beckoned to one of their men who stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle said, "Allah is Greater! By the Lord of the Ka`ba, I am successful." After that they attacked the rest of the party and killed them all except a lame man who went up to the top of the mountain. (Hammam, a sub-narrator said, "I think another man was saved along with him)." Gabriel informed the Prophet (ﷺ) that they (i.e the martyrs) met their Lord, and He was pleased with them and made them pleased. We used to recite, "Inform our people that we have met our Lord, He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased " Later on this Qur'anic Verse was cancelled. The Prophet (ﷺ) invoked Allah for forty days to curse the murderers from the tribe of Ral, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Bani Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and his Apostle
ہم سے حفص بن عمر حوضی نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا ہم سے ہمام نے ان سے اسحاق نے اور ان سے انس رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے بنو سلیم کے ( 70 ) ستر آدمی ( جو قاری تھے ) بنو عامر کے یہاں بھیجے۔ جب یہ سب حضرات ( بئرمعونہ پر ) پہنچے تو میرے ماموں حرام بن ملحان رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا میں ( بنو سلیم کے یہاں ) آگے جاتا ہوں اگر مجھے انہوں نے اس بات کا امن دے دیا کہ میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی باتیں ان تک پہنچاؤں تو۔ بہتر ورنہ تم لوگ میرے قریب تو ہو ہی۔ چنانچہ وہ ان کے یہاں گئے اور انہوں نے امن بھی دے دیا۔ ابھی وہ قبیلہ کے لوگوں کو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی باتیں سنا ہی رہے تھے کہ قبیلہ والوں نے اپنے ایک آدمی ( عامر بن طفیل ) کو اشارہ کیا اور اس نے آپ رضی اللہ عنہ کے جسم پر برچھا پیوست کر دیا جو آرپار ہو گیا۔ اس وقت ان کی زبان سے نکلا اللہ اکبر میں کامیاب ہو گیا کعبہ کے رب کی قسم! اس کے بعد قبیلہ والے حرام رضی اللہ عنہ کے دوسرے ساتھیوں کی طرف ( جو ستر کی تعداد میں تھے ) بڑھے اور سب کو قتل کر دیا۔ البتہ ایک صاحب جو لنگڑے تھے ‘ پہاڑ پر چڑھ گئے۔ ہمام ( راوی حدیث ) نے بیان کیا میں سمجھتا ہوں کہ ایک اور ان کے ساتھ ( پہاڑ پر چڑھے تھے ) ( عمر بن امیہ ضمری ) اس کے بعد جبرائیل علیہ السلام نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو خبر دی کہ آپ کے ساتھی اللہ تعالیٰ سے جا ملے ہیں پس اللہ خود بھی ان سے خوش ہے اور انہیں بھی خوش کر دیا ہے۔ اس کے بعد ہم ( قرآن کی دوسری آیتوں کے ساتھ یہ آیت بھی ) پڑھتے تھے ( ترجمہ ) ہماری قوم کے لوگوں کو یہ پیغام پہنچا دو کہ ہم اپنے رب سے آ ملے ہیں ‘ پس ہمارا رب خود بھی خوش ہے اور ہمیں بھی خوش کر دیا ہے۔ اس کے بعد یہ آیت منسوخ ہو گئی ‘ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے چالیس دن تک صبح کی نماز میں قبیلہ رعل ‘ ذکوان ‘ بنی لحیان اور بنی عصیہ کے لیے بددعا کی تھی جنہوں نے اللہ اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی نافرمانی کی تھی۔

He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased
ہم سے اسماعیل بن عبداللہ نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا کہ مجھ سے امام مالک نے بیان کیا اسحاق بن عبداللہ بن ابی طلحہ سے اور ان سے انس بن مالک رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ اصحاب بئرمعونہ ( رضی اللہ عنہم ) کو جن لوگوں نے قتل کیا تھا ان پر رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے تیس دن تک صبح کی نماز میں بددعا کی تھی۔ یہ رعل ‘ ذکوان اور عصیہ قبائل کے لوگ تھے جنہوں نے اللہ اور اس کے رسول کی نافرمانی کی تھی۔ انس رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ جو ( 70 قاری ) صحابہ بئرمعونہ کے موقع پر شہید کر دئیے گئے تھے ‘ ان کے بارے میں قرآن کی یہ آیت نازل ہوئی تھی جسے ہم مدت تک پڑھتے رہے تھے بعد میں آیت منسوخ ہو گئی تھی ( اس آیت کا ترجمہ یہ ہے ) ”ہماری قوم کو پہنچا دو کہ ہم اپنے رب سے آ ملے ہیں ‘ ہمارا رب ہم سے راضی ہے اور ہم اس سے راضی ہیں۔“
