Sahih al-Bukhari 5424 (Book 74, Hadith 63)
sent for her and she came and stayed in the castle of Bani Sa`ida. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out and went to
her and entered upon her. Behold, it was a lady sitting with a drooping head. When the Prophet (ﷺ) spoke
to her, she said, “I seek refuge with Allah from you.” He said, “I grant you refuge from me.” They said
to her, “Do you know who this is?” She said, “No.” They said, “This is Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who has come
to command your hand in marriage.” She said, “I am very unlucky to lose this chance.” Then the
Prophet and his companions went towards the shed of Bani Sa`ida and sat there. Then he said, “Give
us water, O Sahl!” So I took out this drinking bowl and gave them water in it. The sub-narrator added:
Sahl took out for us that very drinking bowl and we all drank from it. Later on `Umar bin `Abdul
`Aziz requested Sahl to give it to him as a present, and he gave it to him as a present.
Sahih al-Bukhari 5424 (Book 74, Hadith 63)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
