41. Chapter of Rā (Female)
٤١۔ بَابُ الرَّاءِ
[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when a woman came to him with her son and said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for blessings for him, as three of my children have already passed away." The Prophet ﷺ asked her, "Since when did you become a Muslim?" She replied, "Yes." He then said, "They are in paradise, safe and protected." A man then said, "Please listen, O Messenger of Allah, to what he says."
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ بِابْنٍ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ لِي فِيهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ لِي ثَلَاثَةٌ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتِ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «جُنَّةٌ حَصِينَةٌ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ اسْمَعِي يَا رَحْمَا مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
Zainab daughter of Abu Salamah asked him: Which name did you give to your daughter? He replied : Barrah. She said: The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) forbade giving this name. I was called Barrah but the Prophet (May peace be upon him) said: Do not declare yourselves pure, for Allah knows best those of you who are obedient. He said: we asked; which name should we give her? He replied: Call her Zainab. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4953)
أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ سَأَلَتْهُ مَا سَمَّيْتَ ابْنَتَكَ؟ قَالَ سَمَّيْتُهَا بَرَّةَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ هَذَا الِاسْمِ سَمَّيْتَ بَرَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تُزَكُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمُ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَهْلِ الْبِرِّ مِنْكُمْ» قَالُوا وَمَا نُسَمِّيهَا؟ قَالَ «سَمُّوهَا زَيْنَبَ»
[Machine] My name was Barrah, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called her Zainab.
«كَانَ اسْمِي بَرَّةَ فَسَمَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ»
[Machine] She entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was performing ablution. He took a handful of water and splashed it on his face, saying, "Behind you, O Lakaa."
أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَغْتَسِلُ فَأَخَذَ حِفْنَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَقَالَ «وَرَاءَكِ أَيْ لَكَاعِ»
[Machine] He entered upon Zainab, the daughter of Umm Salamah, and she informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with Umm Salamah. He entered upon her with Al-Hasan and Al-Husain and Fatimah. He placed Al-Hasan on one of his sides and Al-Husain on the other and Fatimah in his lap. Then he said, "May Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you, O family of the household. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, Glorious." And Umm Salamah and I were sitting, so Umm Salamah cried. He looked at her and said, "What makes you cry?". She replied, "O Messenger of Allah, you have treated them specially and left me and my daughter." He said, "You and your daughter are from the family of the household."
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَحَدَّثَتْهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ عِنْدَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا بِالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَفَاطِمَةَ فَجَعَلَ الْحَسَنَ مِنْ شِقٍّ وَالْحُسَيْنَ مِنْ شِقٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ فِي حِجْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ» وَأَنَا وَأُمُّ سَلَمَةَ جَالِسَتَيْنِ فَبَكَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَصَصْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَتَرَكْتَنِي وابْنَتِي فَقَالَ «أَنْتِ وَابْنَتُكِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ»
[Machine] My mother used to say, "Go in, and enter," whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would enter to perform ablution. She said, "So I entered and water was poured on my face, then he said, 'Go back.'" Al-Atta' said, my mother said, "So I saw the face of Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) after she had become an old lady, and nothing had decreased from her face."
كَانَتْ أُمِّي إِذَا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَغْتَسِلُ يَقُولُ «اذْهَبِي فَادْخُلِي» قَالَتْ فَدَخَلْتُ فَنَضَحَ فِي وَجْهِيَ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ارْجِعِي» قَالَ الْعَطَّافُ قَالَتْ أُمِّي «فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ زَيْنَبَ وَهِيَ عَجُوزٌ كَبِيرَةٌ مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا شَيْءٌ»
