[Machine] "I am a woman who has been widowed and men have proposed to me, but I refused to remarry until I meet my late husband in paradise. Will you allow me to be one of his wives if we meet?" The man replied, "Yes." Another man said to him, "We haven't seen you do this since we knew you." He answered, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The quickest of my Ummah (followers) to join me in paradise is a woman from the tribe of Ahmas.'"  

أحمد:٣٨٢٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيُّ عَنْ كَرِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ سَلْمَى بِنْتِ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأَتَتْ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَتْ

إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدِ اسْتُشْهِدَ زَوْجِي وَقَدْ خَطَبَنِي الرِّجَالُ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ فَتَرْجُو لِي إِنِ اجْتَمَعْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ فعَلْتَ هَذَا مُذْ قَاعَدْنَاكَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ أُمَّتِي بِي لُحُوقًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ
