حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ فَتُطْعِمُهُ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ تَحْتَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَطْعَمَتْهُ، وَجَعَلَتْ تَفْلِي رَأْسَهُ، فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ وَمَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ يَرْكَبُونَ ثَبَجَ هذَا الْبَحْرِ، مُلُوكًا عَلَى الأَسِرَّةِ أَوْ مِثْلَ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الأَسِرَّةِ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَقُلْتُ: ⦗٢٦٢⦘ وَمَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ غَزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَمَا قَالَ فِي الأَوَّلِ قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: أَنْتِ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ فَرَكِبَتِ الْبَحْرَ، فِي زَمَانِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، فَصُرِعتْ عَنْ دَابَّتِهَا، حِينَ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ، فَهَلَكَتْ.

Anas bin Malik Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم used to visit Umm Harâm bint Milhân, who would offer him meals. Umm Harâm was the wife of 'Ubâda bin As-Sâmit. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم visited her and she provided him with food and started looking for lice in his head [2]. Then Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم slept, and afterwards woke up smiling.Umm Harâm asked, "What causes you to smile, O Allâh's Messenger?" He said, "Some of my followers who (in a dream) were displayed before me as fighters in Allâh's Cause (on board a ship) amidst this sea cause me to smile; they were as kings on the thrones (or like kings on the thrones)." (Ishâq, a subnarrator is not sure as to which expression the Prophet ﷺ used.) Umm Harâm said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Invoke Allâh ﷻ that He makes me one of them." Allâh's Messenger ﷺ invoked Allâh for her and slept again and woke up smiling.Once again Umm Harâm asked, "What makes you smile, O Allâh's Messenger!" He replied, "Some of my followers were displayed before me as fighters in Allâh's Cause," repeating the same dream. Umm Harâm said, "O Allâh's Messenger invoke Allâh that He makes me one of them." He said, "You are amongst the first ones" It happened that she sailed on the sea during the caliphate of Mu'âwiya bin Abî Sufyân and after she disembarked, she fell down from her riding animal and died.( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 47, Vol. 4 )

[2] It is evident from the life history of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that he used to take bath daily even twice daily or more and it is not logical that he could have lice in his head, perhaps she was combing or oiling his hairs.
