In another narration:
“When the son of Abu Talha and Umm Sulaim died, Umm Sulaim
told the other family members, „Do not tell Abu Talha about the boy,
I will tell him myself.‟
When he returned she gave him his evening meal and he ate. Then

the borrower be right to withhold what was borrowed?" He
answered, „No.‟ Then she said, „Then hope for your reward from
Allah for that which has overtaken your son.‟ Abu Talha was upset
and said, „You kept me ignorant about my son's condition until after
we had been together.‟ So he left her and went to the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, and told him what had happened.
