[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ asking him for something, and she was carrying two children. He gave her three dates, and she gave each of the children one date. Then one of the children started crying, so she split a date in half and gave each of them half. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Mothers who breastfeed their children and take care of them with mercy will enter Paradise."  

أحمد:٢٢١٧٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمًا قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ قَالَذُكِرَ لِي عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَسْأَلُهُ وَمَعَهَا صَبِيَّانِ لَهَا فَأَعْطَاهَا ثَلَاثَ تَمَرَاتٍ فَأَعْطَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا تَمْرَةً قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَحَدَ الصَّبِيَّيْنِ بَكَى قَالَ فَشَقَّتْهَا فَأَعْطَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ نِصْفًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَامِلَاتٌ وَالِدَاتٌ رَحِيمَاتٌ بِأَوْلَادِهِنَّ لَوْلَا مَا يَصْنَعْنَ بِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ لَدَخَلَتْ مُصَلِّيَاتُهُنَّ الْجَنَّةَ

[Machine] "A woman came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) with two children, so he gave her three dates. She gave each of the children one date each. Then, one of the two boys cried, so she split the remaining date in half and gave each of them half. The Prophet (pbuh) said, 'Mothers who are pregnant and merciful with their children will enter Paradise if they fulfill their duties towards their husbands.'"

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ with her young children. The Prophet ﷺ asked about her family and she said that she only had three dates. So he gave her the dates and she gave one date to each of her children and kept one for herself. Her children started crying, so she took the date and split it into two halves and gave each child one half. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Mothers who are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking care of their children are merciful towards their children. If it wasn't for the fact that they need to come to their husbands, they would enter Paradise solely based on their prayers."

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet with her children, she had a suckling child. She asked the Prophet for something, but he did not find anything to give her except for three dates that were with some of his wives. So, he gave her one and another one, and kept one for himself. One of the children started crying, so she split the date into two halves and gave one half to each child. The Messenger of Allah said, "Breastfeeding women are compassionate and merciful towards their children. If it was not for what they bring to their husbands, they would enter Paradise."
