FREEDOM FROM THE FIRE H H 270 "A poor woman came to me with her two daughters. I (Lady Ayesha) gave her three dates. She gave one to each daughter and was about to eat the third when her daughters asked for it. So she broke it into two and gave half to each of her daughters. I was touched by her action and mentioned what she had done to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, he said: 'Allah has appointed Paradise for her because of this.' Or he said: 'Allah has freed her from the Fire because of this.'" R 270 The Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, who related this.
269- وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها ، قَالَتْ : جَاءتني مِسْكينةٌ تَحْمِلُ ابْنَتَيْنِ لَهَا ، فَأطْعَمْتُها ثَلاثَ تَمرَات ، فَأعْطَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَة مِنْهُمَا تَمْرَةً وَرَفَعتْ إِلَى فِيها تَمْرَةً لِتَأكُلها ، فَاسْتَطعَمَتهَا ابْنَتَاهَا ، فَشَقَّتِ التَّمْرَةَ الَّتي كَانَتْ تُريدُ أنْ تَأكُلَهَا بَيْنَهُما ، فَأعجَبَنِي شَأنُهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي صَنَعَتْ لرسولِ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، فَقَالَ : "إنَّ الله قَدْ أوْجَبَ لَهَا بها الجَنَّةَ ، أَوْ أعتَقَهَا بِهَا مِنَ النَّارِ" رواه مسلم .
