|H 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.‟”
