MERCY OF ALLAH TO HIS WORSHIPERS

419

“Some captives were brought before the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and among them there was a woman who ran frantically here and there searching for her child. When she found her child she picked it up, hugged and suckled it. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said to his Companions, ‘Could you imagine this woman throwing her child into the Fire?’ The Companions replied, ‘Indeed no.’ Then he said, ‘Allah is more merciful towards His worshipers than she is towards her child.’”
