Hadith 411
۞
There will come in the chapter about the wives of the prophet narrations pertaining to Umm Salama, the mother of the believers. It is said that she was the best of his wives after Khadija. It is sufficient honour for her that al-Husayn deposited with her the testament and the books before heading out to Iraq, saying to her: ‘when the eldest of my sons comes to you then hand over what I gave you to him’. When al-Husayn was martyred, Ali b. al-Husayn came to Umm Salama and she handed over to him all that which al-Husayn had given her [as will come in its relevant section]. Know also that the one who studies this encyclopedia may come across the names of a number of narrators [and narrations which concern their status either directly or indirectly] which have not been included in this ‘book of narrators’, thus we do not claim to have been totally comprehensive - and it is only Allah who facilitates and to Him is the return.It will also come about Umm Ayman that she is from the inhabitants of Janna.
يأتي في باب ازواج النبّي صلى الله عليه و آله ما يتعلّق بأم سلمة وهي أمّ المؤمنين وقيل أنها أفضل زوجاته بعد خديجة سلام اللَّه عليها، وكفى لها عزّا وأمانة أنّ الحسين عليه السلام لمّا قصد العراق دفع اليها الوصية والكتب وغير ذلك، وقال لها: اذا أتاك أكبر ولدي فادفعي إليه ما دفعت إليك، فلمّا قتل الحسين عليه السلام أتي عليّ بن الحسين أمّ سلمة فدفعت إليه كلّ شيء اعطاها الحسين عليه السلام كما ياتى فى محله واعلم ان المتتبع في روايات هذه الموسوعة ربما يجد أسماء جماعة من الرواة فيها ونحن لم نقصد الاستقصاء في هذا الكتاب (كتاب الرواة) واللَّه الموفق واليه الماب. ويأتي في حق أم أيمن أنها من أهل الجنة.
