[Machine] A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with her two sons, while she was pregnant. On that day, she did not ask him for anything except that he gave her. Then he said, "Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers are merciful. If it were not for what they reach to their husbands, they would enter Paradise."  

أحمد:٢٢٣١١ – حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ

جَاءَتْ امْرَأَةٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَهَا ابْنَانِ لَهَا وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ فَمَا سَأَلَتْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ شيئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ حَامِلَاتٌ وَالِدَاتٌ رَحِيمَاتٌ لَوْلَا مَا يَأْتِينَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ دَخَلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ

[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."

"A woman came to the Prophet with two of her children, carrying one and leading the other. The Messenger of Allah said: 'They carry children and give birth to them and are compassionate.

[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."
