Hadith 3799

ENGLISH

It was narrated from Kareem bin Abi Hazim, from his grandmother Salma bint Jabir, that her husband was martyred and she came to 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood and said:

I am a woman whose husband has been martyred, and men have proposed marriage to me, but I refused to marry until I meet him (i.e., her first husband, in the Hereafter). Do you think, if I meet him, I will be one of his wives? He said: Yes. A man said to him: We have not heard you narrate that since we started sitting and learning from you. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “The first of my ummah to join me in Paradise will be a woman from (the tribe of) Ahmas.”
