The women of Quraysh carry their children with them and are gentle to them, and they have their husbands accompany them despite their limited means. Abu Huraira said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ knew that the daughter of Al-Khattab did not ride camels.'"  

أحمد:١٠٩٢١ – حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ نِسَاءٍ رَكِبْنَ الْإِبِلَ نِسَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ أَحْنَاهُ عَلَى وَلَدٍ فِي صِغَرِهِ وَأَرْفَقُهُ بِزَوْجٍ عَلَى قِلَّةِ ذَاتِ يَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ ابْنَةَ الْخَطَّابِ لَمْ تَرْكَبِ الْإِبِلَ
