ذِكْرُ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ أُمِّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ

[Machine] Um Salim went out with the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Hunayn, and she had a dagger with her. Abu Talha said to her, "Um Salim, what is this?" She said, "I took it, and by Allah, a man approached me and I struck him in his stomach." Abu Talha said, "Do you not pay attention to what Um Salim is saying? She is saying such and such." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, kill those who come after us from the Thulqa' because they retreated because of you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Um Salim, Allah is sufficient and He is the best."

أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمِ خَرَجَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَهَا خِنْجَرٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَتِ اتَّخَذْتُهُ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ دَنَا مِنِّي رَجُلٌ بَعَجْتُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اقْتُلْ مَنْ بَعْدَنَا مِنَ الطُّلَقَاءِ انْهَزَمُوا بِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ كَفَى وَأَحْسَنَ»

Messenger of Allah, this is Umm Sulaim. She is holding a dagger. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked (her): What for are you holding this dagger? She said: I took it up so that I may tear open the belly of a polytheist who comes near me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to smile (at these words). She said: Messenger of Allah, kill all those people-other than us-whom thou hast declared to be free (on the day of the Conquest of Mecca). (They embraced Islam because) they were defeated at your hands (and as such their Islam is not dependable). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Umm Sulaim. God is sufficient (against the mischief of the polytheists) and He will be kind to us (so you need not carry this dagger).

[Machine] "On the day of Hunayn, Umm Salamah was with Abu Talhah when she had a dagger with her. Abu Talhah asked her, 'What is this with you, Umm Salamah?' She responded, 'I have taken it in case any disbeliever comes near me, I would stab him with it.' Abu Talhah said, 'O Prophet of Allah, do you not hear what Umm Salamah is saying?' She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, kill those who are behind us from the disenfranchised, for they have been defeated because of you, O Messenger of Allah.' He replied, 'O Umm Salamah, indeed Allah has sufficed us and granted us goodness.'"

The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to her, "O Umm Salamah, Allah has sufficed us." Then Abu Talhah came to her, carrying a staff, and said, "What is this, O Umm Salamah?" She replied, "If any of the polytheists approaches me, I will strike him with it." Abu Talhah said to the Messenger of Allah, "Look at what Umm Salamah is saying."

She replied, 'It is a dagger that I have taken in case any of the polytheists comes near me, I would stab his stomach with it.' Abu Talha said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you not hear what Umm Sulaim is saying?' She said such and such, so I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the people who came after us have been defeated because of you, O Messenger of Allah.'
