“When Ka’b was dying, Umm Bishr bint Bara’ bin Ma’rur came to him and said: ‘O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! If you meet so-and-so, convey Salam to him from me.’ He said: ‘May Allah forgive you, O Umm Bishr! We are too busy to think of that.’ She said: ‘O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “The souls of the believers are in green birds, eating from the trees of Paradise”?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ She said: ‘That is what I mean.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1449)  

يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنْ لَقِيتَ ابْنِي فَأَقْرئْهُ مِنَّي السَّلَامَ قَالَ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكِ يَا أُمَّ بِشْرٍ نُحْنُ أَسْفَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي أَجْوَافِ طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ تَعَلَّقُ بِشَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ» ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَتْ فَهُوَ ذَاكَ  

[Machine] Abu Talhah proposed to Um Sulaim before accepting Islam, and she said, "Indeed, I desire you, and there is no one like you, but you are a disbeliever and I am a Muslim woman. If you accept Islam, that will be my dowry and I will not ask you for anything else." And Abu Talhah married her.  

خَطَبَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فَقَالَتْ «أَمَا إِنِّي فِيكَ لَرَاغِبَةٌ وَمَا مِثْلُكَ يُرَدُّ وَلَكِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ كَافِرٌ وَأَنَا امْرأَةٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ فِإِنْ تُسْلِمْ فَذَلِكَ مَهْرِي لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ» وَتَزَوَّجَهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ
