Hazrat Anas was the servant of our Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
His mother was Umme Sulaim (Radhiyallahu anha).
She was a Sahaabiyah.
She happens to be an aunt of Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as well.
Her husband was the Sahaabi, Abu Talhah.
She had a brother who became shaheed (a martyr) in a battle participating with Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
On account of all of this, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) cared for her much and would occasionally go to her home.
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) also saw her in Jannat.

There is an amazing story about her. She had a child. The child became sick, and one day the child passed away [whilst her husband was away on journey]. When the husband returned it was nighttime.
Now just look at her Sabr. She thought, “If I inform my husband, he is going to be traumatised the whole night. He is not going to eat.” She sat quietly.
Her husband asked about the child. She replied: “He is in comfort.” This was not a lie. What greater comfort is there for a Muslim than returning to his original abode?! The husband never understood what she meant.
In short, she brought the food and placed it in front of him. He ate. The husband had a desire for her. This maiden of Allah did not even decline this.
After everything, she asked her husband: “When someone borrows something to another and then asks for his item, is there any scope for refusing to give back the person’s item? He replied: “No!” She said: “Then make Sabr, the child has passed away.”
He lost his composure and said: “Why didn’t you tell me when I came?!” He went and related this whole episode to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) made Du’aa for them.
By the power and will of Allah Ta’ala, she became expectant and a boy was born. His name was kept Abdullah who became a great Aalim, and among his offspring were great Aalims.
