Um Sama'ah bint Abi Ruhm recounts for us:
"I saw Aminah bint Wahb in her illness which she died from.
Muhammad who was a growing boy - five years old - was at her head."
.. at the time of her death.
They were returning from al-Madinah.
They had neared Makkah, but there was still some distance to go. They were at Abwa.
She said, "I saw him near her head and she was sick.
His mother gazed at his face.
She said:
"May Allah bless you, my boy!
O son of the one who from the terrible arrow of death was saved
- referring to his father, Abdullah -
She said, "O son of the one who from the terrible arrow of death was saved with the aid and beneficence of Allah, the Sovereign
and ransomed by a hundred camels
If what I have seen in my dreams is true,
then you are the one who will be sent to all mankind.
If what I have seen in my dreams is true,
then you are the one who will be sent to all mankind,
by Allah, the Possessor of Majesty and Glory.
You will be sent to all lands; the Sanctuary and beyond.
You will be sent to complete submission..
and the religion of your pious forefather, Ibrahim.
You will be sent with ease and Islam.
Allah shall ever protect and keep you away from idol worshipping and idols."
Then she said:
"Every living creation will die
and everything new will wear out
Every aged thing will disappear.
Yes, I am going to die as well.
Yet I will be remembered forever."
Remembrance of her remains through Muhammad.
And here now is her enduring remembrance..
that continues to renew centuries after that moment,
and after that death.
"Yes, I am going to die as well. Yet I will be remembered forever
because I have given birth to an immaculate child and am leaving an auspicious person behind me"
[Um Samaa] says, "Then she died."
After this, do evil mongers dare speak ill of Aminah??
Or have a bad opinion of Aminah?
Who is Aminah the mother of??
If Aminah - [tr: Aminah means safe] - If Aminah is not safe, then no one on the Day of Judgment will be safe!
Nor will anyone on the Day of the Resurrection be safe.
