Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.’ He invoked (Allah) for her and then lay his

He said, ‘Some people of my followers were displayed before me as warriors fighting for Allah’s
Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on the thrones,’ or said, ‘like kings on the thrones.’ I (Um

on coming out of the sea, she fell down from her riding animal and died.

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.
