- .... And Imam Ahmad said: Yahya ibn Isma'il narrated to us,
Qais narrated to us, saying: When Aisha set out - meaning on her way to the Battle of the Camel - and reached the waters of Banu Amir at night, the dogs began to bark. She said, "What water is this?" They replied, "The water of al-Haw'ab." She said, "I do not think I will do anything but return." Then some of those who were with her said, "No, you will go forward, and the Muslims will see you, and Allah will reconcile their hearts." She replied, "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to us one day,
'How will it be with one of you upon whom the dogs of al-Haw'ab bark?'"- .... Then Ahmad narrated it from Gundir, from Shu'bah, from Isma'il ibn Abi Khalid,
from Qais ibn Abi Hazim: that Aisha, when she passed by al-Haw'ab and heard the barking of the dogs, said, "I do not think I will do anything but return. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to us, 'Which of you will be barked at by the dogs of al-Haw'ab?'" Al-Zubair said to her, "You will return. Perhaps Allah will reconcile the people through you," and this is an isnaad (chain of transmission) that meets the criteria of the two Sahihs, although they did not include it.
- .... And the Hafiz Abu Bakr al-Bazzar said: Muhammad ibn Osman ibn Karama narrated to us,
Ubaydullah ibn Musa narrated to us, from Isam ibn Qudama al-Bajjali, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, 'I wish I knew which of you will be the companion of the camel, al-Dabbah, who will walk until the dogs of al-Haw'ab bark at her, and many creatures will be killed on her right and on her left.'"
