    Umm al-Fadl daughter of al-Harith told that she went in to see God’s messenger and said, “Messenger of God, I had an objectionable dream last night.” He asked what it was and she replied, “It was terrible.” He asked, “But what was it?” and she replied, “I seemed to see a piece of your body cut off and placed in my lap.” He said, “You have seen something good. If God will Fatima will give birth to a son who will be in your lap.” Fatima then gave birth to al-Husain who was placed in her lap as God’s messenger had said. One day she went in to see God’s messenger and placed him in his lap. She turned round, and noticing tears falling from God’s messenger’s eyes she said, “Prophet of God for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom, what is the matter with you?” He replied, “Gabriel came to me and informed me that my people will kill this son of mine.” She asked if he really meant this one and he replied, “Yes, and he brought me a piece of red earth[*].” Ibn `Abbas told that one day at midday he saw in a dream the Prophet disheveled and dusty with a bottle containing blood in his hand and said, “You for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom, what is this?” He replied, “This is the blood of al-Husain and his companions which I have been collecting to-day.” He told that he was reckoning that time and found that he had been killed at that time. *With reference to the soil made red by the shedding of Hussain’s blood. Baihaqi transmitted the two traditions in Dala’il an-nubuwa and Ahmad transmitted the second.

I often said to him, “It seems as if Khadija was the only woman in the world,” and he replied, “She was indeed a fine woman, and I had children from her.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
