حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّی بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ أَنَّهَا کَانَتْ تَحْتَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ فَمَاتَ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ فَزَوَّجَهَا النَّجَاشِيُّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمْهَرَهَا عَنْهُ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ وَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ شُرَحْبِيلَ ابْنِ حَسَنَةَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد حَسَنَةُ هِيَ أُمُّهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2107
Urwah reported on the authority of Umm Habibah that she was married to Abdullah ibn Jahsh who died in Abyssinia, so the Negus married her to the Prophet ﷺ giving her on his behalf a dower of four thousand (dirhams). He sent her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with Shurahbil ibn Hasanah. Abu Dawud said: Hasanah is his mother.
