Abu Musa said, Asma bint Umays, who was among those who came back with us, went to visit Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. She had emigrated to Najashi among those who emigrated to him. Umar came in to see Hafsa while Asma was with her, and when Umar saw Asma he asked, "Who is this?"Hafsa replied, "Asma bint Umays."Umar said, "The Abyssinian woman? The seafaring woman?"Asma said, "Yes."Umar said, "We beat you to the emigration, so we have more right to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than you do."She became angry and said, "That is not so, Umar. By Allah, you were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who fed the hungry among you and instructed the ignorant among you, while we were in a land, or among a people, who were distant and hostile, there in Abyssinia. And all of that was for the sake of Allah and His Messenger. By Allah, I will not eat a bite of food nor drink a drop until I mention to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what you have said. We were harmed and we lived in fear. I will mention this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him. By Allah, I will not lie, nor twist anything, nor add to it."When the Prophet ﷺ came, she said, "Prophet of Allah, Umar said such and such."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has no greater right to me than you do. He and his companions have one emigration, but you, the people of the ship, have two emigrations."Asma said, "I then saw Abu Musa and the people of the ship coming to me in groups, asking me about this hadith. There was nothing in the world that delighted them more or was greater in their eyes than what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said about them."Abu Burda said, Asma said, "I saw Abu Musa asking me to repeat this hadith again and again."
قال فدخلت أسماء بنت عميس وهي ممن قدم معنا على حفصة زوج النبي ﷺ زائرة وقد كانت هاجرت إلى النجاشي فيمن هاجر إليه فدخل عمر على حفصة وأسماء عندها فقال عمر حين رأى أسماء من هذه قالت أسماء بنت عميس قال عمر الحبشية هذه البحرية هذه فقالت أسماء نعم فقال عمر سبقناكم بالهجرة فنحن أحق برسول الله ﷺ منكم فغضبت وقالت كلمة كذبت يا عمر كلا والله كنتم مع رسول الله ﷺ يطعم جائعكم ويعظ جاهلكم وكنا في دار أو في أرض البعداء البغضاء في الحبشة وذلك في الله وفي رسوله وايم الله لا أطعم طعاما ولا أشرب شرابا حتى أذكر ما قلت لرسول الله ﷺ ونحن كنا نؤذى ونخاف وسأذكر ذلك لرسول الله ﷺ وأسأله ووالله لا أكذب ولا أزيغ ولا أزيد على ذلك قال فلما جاء النبي ﷺ قالت يا نبي الله إن عمر قال كذا وكذا فقال رسول الله ﷺ ليس بأحق بي منكم وله ولأصحابه هجرة واحدة ولكم أنتم أهل السفينة هجرتان قالت فلقد رأيت أبا موسى وأصحاب السفينة يأتوني أرسالا يسألوني عن هذا الحديث ما من الدنيا شيء هم به أفرح ولا أعظم في أنفسهم مما قال لهم رسول الله ﷺ قال أبو بردة فقالت أسماء فلقد رأيت أبا موسى وإنه ليستعيد هذا الحديث مني
