- .... And Abu Na'im narrated
from Umm Samā'ah bint Abi Rahm, from her mother, who said: "I witnessed Amina bint Wahb in her illness in which she died, and Muhammad, a boy of about five years, was at her head. I looked at his face and then she said:" "May Allah bless you, O boy, son of the One who escaped from the throng of the bath,
By the help of the Gracious King, and was ransomed on the day of the strike with arrows
For a hundred head of沿r camels, if what I saw in my dream is true.
You are to be sent to humanity, from the Presence of the Lord of Glory and Honor,
To be sent in both the permissible and the forbidden, sent with certainty and Islam,
The religion of your righteous father, Ibrahim, sent with ease and Islam,
To not ally with them among the nations, for Allah has forbidden you from idols."
Then she said:
"Every living being will die, every new thing will wear out, and every great thing will perish, and I will die, but my remembrance will remain. I have left behind goodness and have given birth to one pure." Then she died, and we could hear the weeping of the jinn for her, and we learned from it:
"We mourn the virtuous, faithful girl, of beauty, chastity, and composure,
Wife of Abdullah and companion, mother of the Prophet of Allah, the One with Serenity,
And the one who would stand upon the pulpit in the city; she has become a prisoner in her grave.
If ransomed, she would have been ransomed for a precious price, and death has a sharp edge to its scythe.
It does not leave any women or female travelers, except that they come, cut off, and entwined.
Has she not perished, O sorrowful one, from what the One on the Throne will elevate of His Religion?
So, we are all bereft and saddened, we mourn you for the loss or for the adornment,
For the weak and for the helpless."
