Being the aunt of the Prophet, the Prophet (pbuh) used to visit her. Anas Ibn Mâlik reported, "Once, the Messenger of Allah, (pbuh) came to our home where there were only my mother, aunt Umm Haram and I. He said; let me lead you in prayer "It was not a time of prayer by then."(Reported by Muslim)

A Wish Come True

Anas reported, "When going to Qibâ', the Prophet (pbuh) used to visit Umm Haram, the wife of Abu ‘Ubada Ibn as-Sâmit. One day the Prophet (pbuh) entered her home. She offered him food and when he finished eating she started to check his hair, then the Prophet (pbuh) slept. He awoke after a while laughing. Umm Harâm asked, "Why do you laugh Messenger of Allah? He said. I saw some people of my nation on a board in the midst of the sea conquering in the cause of Allah. They were like kings on chairs." Umm Harâm said, "O Messenger of Allah may you invoke Allah to make me join them. The Prophet invoked Allah for her and slept again. He got up laughing. Umm Harâm said, O Messenger of Allah, "Why do you laugh?" He (pbuh) said, "I saw some people of my nation conquering in the cause of Allah. They were like kings on thrones" She said, "O Messenger of Allah, may you invoke Allah to make me join them" He said, you are among the earlier Ones. Anas said, "Afterwards, she accompanied her husband, Ubadah Ibn as-Sâmit when setting out for the conquest of Cyprus.”
