Hasrah was loyal to the Holy Prophet's Household (Ahl al-Bayt). She visited the Prophet (S) regularly, and is considered to be one of his companions. After the death of the Prophet (S), she continued to be attached to his descendants.

Al-Majlisi quotes from the book Qurb al-Isnad, a tradition from Imam al-Sadiq ('a), as saying, "There was a woman of the Ansar whom they called Hasrah. She visited the Prophet's family regularly and loved them dearly.

One day Zufar and Habtar1 saw her on the way and asked, 'O Hasrah, where are you going?'

She answered, 'I am going to visit the family of the Prophet (S) so as to fulfill their rights and reconfirm my allegiance to them.'

Those two responded, 'Woe on you! There is no right for them today. Their right was only in the time of the Prophet (S).'

So Hasrah returned. After several days she went to the wife of the Prophet (S), Umm Salamah, who said, 'Why has it been so long since you last visited?'

Hasrah said, 'Zufar and Habtar said such and such.'

Umm­Salamah said, 'May God curse them. They lie. The right of the family of the Prophet (S) is obligatory on the Muslims up to the Resurrection Day."'2
