حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ مَعِينٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أُخْتِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ الرُّمَيْصَائِ قَالَتْ نَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَکَانَتْ تَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهَا فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَکُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَضْحَکُ مِنْ رَأْسِي قَالَ لَا وَسَاقَ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ يَزِيدُ وَيَنْقُصُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد الرُّمَيْصَائُ أُخْتُ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ مِنْ الرَّضَاعَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2492
Umm Sulaim Al Rumaisa said “The Prophet ﷺ slept and awoke while she was washing her head. ” He awoke laughing. She asked “Messenger of Allah ﷺ are you laughing at my head?” He replied, No. She then narrated the rest of the tradition enlarging and reducing. Abu Dawud said: Al-Rumaisa was the foster sister of Umm Sulaim.
