It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Hazrat Ammar and said, "O son of Sumayyah, alas! A rebellious group will kill you."

Abdullah bin Harith says that once we were with Muawiyah when Ibn Zubair narrated this hadith from Aisha that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs after Asr. Muawiyah sent some people to Aisha, among whom I was also included. We asked her, and she replied that she herself had not heard this from the Prophet (peace be upon him), but she had been informed about it by Umm Salamah. Muawiyah then sent a messenger to Umm Salamah. Umm Salamah said, "The actual matter is that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) led the Zuhr prayer, and some wealth had arrived that day. The Prophet (peace be upon him) sat down to distribute it until the mu'adhdhin began to give the adhan for Asr. The Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed the Asr prayer and came to my house, as it was my turn that day, and he prayed two short rak'ahs there. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what are these two rak'ahs which you have been commanded to pray?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, 'No, rather these are the rak'ahs which I used to pray after Zuhr, but I became so occupied with the distribution of wealth that the mu'adhdhin came to inform me of the Asr prayer, so I did not think it appropriate to leave them (so I prayed them now).' Upon hearing this, Ibn Zubair said 'Allahu Akbar' and said, 'Does this not prove that the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed them at least once? By Allah, I will never leave them.' Muawiyah said, 'You always oppose, and as long as you live, you will continue to prefer opposition.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that a woman whose husband had passed away developed a complaint in her eyes. She mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sought permission to apply kohl to her eyes, saying, "We fear for her eyes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (In the time of ignorance) one of you women would stay in her house for a year wearing the worst of clothes, then a dog would pass by her and she would throw dung and come out. So can she not now spend four months and ten days?

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that I never saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fasting two consecutive months, except that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would join the fasting of Sha'ban with that of Ramadan.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah begin and a person intends to offer a sacrifice, then he should not touch (cut or trim) the hair of his (head) or any part (hair) of his body.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of your female slaves has a slave who is a mukatab (one who has a contract of manumission) and he possesses enough to pay the amount of his contract and thereby attain his freedom, then that woman should observe veil from her slave.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the last advice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was to take care of the prayer and to treat your slaves well. While repeating this, the blessed chest of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to rattle and his tongue became still.

Abu Salamah says that once there was a difference of opinion between Hazrat Abu Hurairah and Ibn Abbas regarding a woman whose husband passes away and she gives birth to a child. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that after giving birth she can marry, while Hazrat Ibn Abbas said that she will observe the longer of the two waiting periods. Then they sent a messenger to Hazrat Umm Salamah, and she said that Sabi’ah bint Harith’s husband had passed away, and only fifteen days, that is, half a month after his death, she gave birth to a child. Then two men sent marriage proposals to Sabi’ah, and she inclined towards one of them. When people realized that she might choose one of them, they said,“You are not yet lawful (for marriage).”She went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“You have become lawful, so you may marry whomever you wish.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf came to her and said, "Mother, I fear that the abundance of wealth may destroy me, because I am the wealthiest among the Quraysh." She replied, "Son, spend it, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that some of my companions will be such that after my separation from them, they will never see me again." When Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf went out, he met Hazrat Umar on the way and told him this. Hazrat Umar himself went to Hazrat Umm Salamah and, entering the house, said, "Swear by Allah and tell me, am I also among them?" She replied, "No, but after you, I cannot say this about anyone."
