Um Salama said, "So I reasoned and saw her in the desert and she asked me, 'Who is this?' I said, 'I am Abu Yahya.' She said to me, 'Which of my sons are you calling to me, the son of my brother Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abu Umama, and you are fulfilling what is due upon you in his marriage, and I am reciting the blessings upon you.' I cried and woke up and said, 'By Allah, I will never give it to him.' She said, 'My son, indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If one of you has something that needs to be fulfilled from her writing, then hide it. By Allah, you will not see me unless you see me in the Hereafter.'"
