Hazrat Umm Waraqah bint Nawfal (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to set out for the Battle of Badr, I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Grant me permission to accompany you in jihad. I will tend to your wounded and care for the sick, perhaps Allah will grant me the death of a martyr." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Stay in your house, surely Allah the Exalted has granted you the reward of martyrdom." She says that after this, I became known as "the martyr" (Shaheedah).
