A lady along with her two daughters came to me asking (for some alms), but she found nothing with me except one date which I gave to her and she divided it between her two daughters, and did not eat anything herself, and then she got up and went away. Then the Prophet ﷺ came in and I informed him about this story. He said, "Whoever is put to trial by these daughters and he treats them generously (with benevolence) then these daughters will act as a shield for him from Hell-Fire." (See Hadith No. 24, Vol. 8).  

دَخَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا تَسْأَلُ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي شَيْئًا غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَا فَقَسَمَتْهَا بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْنَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ بِشَىْءٍ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ  

"A woman came to me with two daughters. She was asking (for food) but I did not have anything with me except a date. So I gave it to her and she divided it between her two daughters without eating any of it herself. Then she got up to leave, and the Prophet entered, and I informed him about her. So the Prophet said: " Whoever is tested something from these daughters (and he/she passes the test), they will be a screen for them from the Fire."  

دَخَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا فَسَأَلَتْ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي شَيْئًا غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَا فَقَسَمَتْهَا بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ  

[Machine] There was a woman who entered upon the Prophet ﷺ with her two daughters. I gave her a date and she divided it between them. I mentioned this to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and he said, "Whoever is tested with something from these daughters of his, and benevolently treats them, they will be a shield for him from the Fire."  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا وَمَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا تَمْرَةً فَشَقَّتْهَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ  

A woman came to me along with her two daughters. She asked me for (charity) but she found nothing with me except one date, so I gave her that. She accepted it and then divided it between her two daughters and herself ate nothing out of that. She then got up and went out, and so did her two daughters. (In the meanwhile) Allah's Apostle ﷺ visited me and I narrated to him her story. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: He who is involved (in the responsibility) of (bringing up) daughters, and he accords benevolent treatment towards them, there would be protection for him against Hell-Fire. (Using translation from Muslim 2629)   

جَاءَتْ امْرَأَةٌ وَمَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي شَيْئًا غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَا فَأَخَذَتْهَا فَشَقَّتْهَا بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ هِيَ وَابْنَتَاهَا فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى تَفِيئَةِ ذَلِكَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ ابْتُلِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ كُنَّ سِتْرًا لَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ

أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا تَسْتَطْعِمُ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي إِلَّا تَمْرَةً وَاحِدَةً فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَا فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَشَقَّتْهَا بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا قَالَتْ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ وَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرَهَا فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ فَأَحْسَنَ صُحْبَتَهُنَّ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ»
