It is narrated from Sayyida Asma’ (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the occasion of migration, I prepared provisions for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the house of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). We could not find anything to tie the bag and the water-skin. I said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): By Allah! There is nothing available to tie this luggage except my waistband. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Tear it into two parts and tie the food with one and the water with the other. For this reason, Sayyida Asma’ (may Allah be pleased with her) was given the name“Dhat an-Nitaqayn”(the possessor of two waistbands).

It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) married me, while he had nothing except a horse; he had no wealth, no slave, nothing at all. I used to feed his horse grass, fulfill its needs, and take it around for exercise. I used to crush and grind date stones for his camel, feed it grass, and bring water for it. If the water bucket broke, I would repair it. I would knead the dough, but I did not know how to bake bread well, so my Ansari neighbor women would bake bread for me; they were very good women. The land that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had granted to Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) was about two miles away. I used to carry the date stones on my head from there.

One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was coming with his companions and met me on the way. He called out to me and signaled his mount to stop so that I could ride behind him, but I felt shy to travel with men. At the same time, I remembered Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and his sense of honor; he was the most honorable among men. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) realized that I was hesitant to ride with him, so he moved on. I went to Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him that I had date stones on my head, and on the way, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the noble companions met me. He intended to make me ride with him by stopping his mount, but I felt shy and I also know your sense of honor. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! For me, your carrying the date stones is more unpleasant than your riding with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) says: This was my situation until Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a servant to me. Then, in matters related to the horse, this servant took over my responsibilities, and thus she came and as if set me free.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people from Banu Hashim went to the house of Sayyidah Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her), who at that time was married to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). While those people were sitting there, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived. When he saw those people at his wife's house, he disliked it. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned this incident to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I did not see anything objectionable, rather I saw only good." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has protected Asma from such matters." After this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on the pulpit and said: "From today, no man should go alone to the house of a woman whose husband is not at home, except that there are one or two other men with him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyidah Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her), so he said: "You are very good people, but the thing is that people migrated before you and we are superior to you." Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "You people were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whenever you did not know something, the Messenger of Allah would teach you, and if any of you did not have a mount, the Messenger of Allah would provide him with a mount, while we fled to save our religion." Anyway, I will definitely go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mention this matter to him. So she went and mentioned all of Sayyiduna Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) words to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will have the reward of two migrations, one towards Abyssinia and one towards Madinah."

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a gift was presented to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and among it was a necklace of Yemeni pearls. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will give this necklace to the one among my family who is most beloved to me." The women thought that this necklace would be taken by the daughter of Abu Quhafa, that is, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called his granddaughter, Sayyida Umamah bint Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her), and placed the necklace around her neck.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that there are three rulings in the incident of Sayyida Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her): Her family wanted to sell her on the condition that her wala’ (right of allegiance) would remain theirs. When I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Buy her and set her free, for wala’ belongs to the one who sets free. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: So I set her free, and at that time she was married to a slave (Mughith). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: You have the choice; if you wish, you may remain in the marriage with the slave, and if you wish, you may separate from him. She chose separation for herself. The third ruling is that people used to give charity to Sayyida Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she would give some of that charity to us as a gift. When I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: It is charity for her, and for you it is a gift and present from her, so you may eat this food.

It is narrated from Sayyida Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I was present with Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for water for ablution. So I and Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) rushed towards the water vessel and I grabbed the water vessel. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and, raising his gaze towards me, said: "You are from me and I am from you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I entered Paradise and I heard the sound of footsteps there. I asked, "What is this sound?" I was told that it is the sound of Rumaysa bint Milhan walking.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I entered Paradise and I heard a sound ahead of me; it was Ghumaysa bint Milhan. She was the mother of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I was shown in a dream that I entered Paradise, and there I found Rumaisa, the wife of Abu Talha."
