that Umm Sulaym was with Abū Ṭalḥah on the day of Ḥunayn, and Umm Sulaym had a dagger with her. Abū Ṭalḥah said, "What is this with you, Umm Sulaym?!" She replied, "I have taken it so that if any of the disbelievers come near me, I will stab him in the belly with it." Abū Ṭalḥah said, "O Prophet of Allāh! Do you not hear what Umm Sulaym is saying?!

It was recorded by Muslim (8/138), Aḥmad (3/314), and ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd in "al-Muntaqab" (3/20/1031) through the route of Abū Muʿāwiyah: al-Aʿmash narrated it
