[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw a woman with a child in her arms and another child holding her hand, and I do not know any more about her except that she was pregnant. She did not ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for anything that day except that he gave it to her. Then he said, "The women who bear children and take care of them are compassionate with their children. If it were not for their duties towards their husbands, the praying women among them would enter Paradise."  

أحمد:٢٢٢١٩حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ

أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ وَمَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا تَحْمِلُهُ وَبِيَدِهَا آخَرُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ فَلَمْتَسْأَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ حَامِلَاتٌ وَالِدَاتٌ رَحِيمَاتٌ بِأَوْلَادِهِنَّ لَوْلَا مَا يَأْتِينَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ دَخَلَ مُصَلِّيَاتُهُنَّ الْجَنَّةَ

[Machine] While the Prophet ﷺ was sitting, a woman came to him carrying her child, with some of them walking. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her, and on that day she did not ask him anything except that he gave it to her. She went away walking, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The mothers who carry (their children) and give birth to them, and the merciful ones among them, if it were not for what they bring to their husbands, their prayerful wives would enter Paradise."
