English Translation

Hadrat Umm Hani' daughter of Abu Talib said:I went to God’s Messenger in the year of the Conquest and found him bathing while his daughter Hadrat Fatima was screening him with a garment. I gave a salutation and he asked who was there, then when I told him I was Hadrat Umm Hani’ daughter of Abu Talib he said, “Welcome, Hadrat Umm Hani’.” After he finished his bathing he got up and prayed eight rak'as wrapped in a garment, and when he was done I said, “Messenger of God, my mother’s son ‘Ali has asserted that he is going to kill a man to whom I have given protection, so and so the son of Hubaira.” He replied, “We have given protection to those to whom you have granted it, Hadrat Umm Hani'.” She said that was in the forenoon. (Bukhari and Muslim.) In a version by Tirmidhi she said, “I have given protection to two of my husband’s male relatives,” and God’s Messenger replied, “We have given security to those to whom you have given it.”
