ما هي قصة إسلام أم شريك، ومعاناتها في سبيل الدعوة إلى الإسلام، وكرامتها التي كانت سببًا في إسلام من عذّبوها؟
The summary of the story is that Umm Sharik embraced Islam in Mecca and began secretly inviting Quraish women to Islam. When her activity became known, they seized her, put her on an unsaddled camel, and left her for three days without food or water. When they dismounted, they tied her up in the sun and withheld food from her. Then, a bucket of water came to her several times, and she drank until she was quenched and poured water over her body. When they woke up and saw traces of water and asked her, she told them what had happened. They said, "If you are truthful, then your religion is better than ours," and they embraced Islam. Then she came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and offered herself to him.
This narration was transmitted by Abu Nu'aym al-Asbahani with a very weak chain of transmission, which includes Muhammad ibn Marwan al-Suddi, Muhammad ibn al-Sa'ib al-Kalbi, and Abu Salih Badham, all of whom are weak and abandoned in Hadith. It was also narrated by Ibn Sa'd with a very weak chain as well, which includes al-Waqidi and Munir ibn Abdullah, whom some have weakened and others have declared unknown. It has been narrated with similar stories but with weak or mursal (missing a link between the Tabi'i and the Prophet) chains.
Accordingly, there is no sound and authentic chain of transmission for this story, in addition to the instability of its text.
