UMM IS'HAQ al-Ghanawiyyah
is from the noble Companions who migrated to Madinah.
Her freed slave Umm Hakim bint Dinār narrated her migration.
Umm Is'haq migrated from Makkah with her brother Is'haq, headed towards Madinah.
When they reached a passage, her brother said to her,
"Sit and wait here until I return from Makkah.
I have to retrieve some provisions which I forgot there."
Umm Is'haq said, "I fear that if you return to Makkah, the evil one (meaning her husband) will kill you."
Her brother left her and returned to Makkah.
After three days, a rider passed by her and said, "Umm Is'haq, why are you sitting here?"
She said, "I am awaiting my brother Is'haq."
He replied, "There is no Is'haq for you, he encountered your husband after leaving Makkah and [your husband] killed him."
Umm Is'haq reached Madinah and entered upon the Prophet ﷺ as he was performing wudu.
She said, "O Messenger of Allah, Is'haq (her brother) has been killed."
The Prophet ﷺ splashed a handful of water on his face.
Umm Hakim bint Dinar, the narrator of the hadith, said, "She had just been afflicted with a severe calamity, and you could see the tears in her eyes, but the tears were not streaming down her cheeks."
