It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nafi' that he said: Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) had left instructions that the governor of Madinah should not lead her funeral prayer, and he was al-Walid bin Utbah bin Abi Sufyan. She passed away at the beginning of the year 59 AH, and her funeral prayer was led by her nephew Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Hind bint al-Harith al-Firasiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aishah has a special place with me which no one has reached so far." She said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: O Messenger of Allah! What has become of that special place? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, from which it was understood that Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) had also attained that same place with him (peace and blessings be upon him).
