A woman said: Messenger of Allah, my womb is a vessel to this son of mine, my breasts, a water-skin for him, and my lap a guard for him, yet his father has divorced me, and wants to take him away from me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You have more right to him as long as you do not marry. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2276)   

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا كَانَ بَطْنِي لَهُ وِعَاءً وَثَدْيِي لَهُ سِقَاءً وَحِجْرِي لَهُ حِوَاءً وَإِنَّ أَبَاهُ طَلَّقَنِي وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْزِعَهُ مِنِّي فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْتِ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مَا لَمْ تَنْكِحِي  

[Machine] "Those who claim that Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq had decided for Umar ibn Al-Khattab to take custody of his grandson, Asim ibn Umar, until he reaches maturity, and Asim's mother at the time was alive and married."  

الَّذِينَ يُنْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ قَضَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ لِجَدَّةِ ابْنِهِ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بِحَضَانَتِهِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ وَأُمُّ عَاصِمٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ حَيَّةٌ مُتَزَوِّجَةٌ  

[Machine] Abu Bakr intervened between her and him, so Umar did not pursue the matter further.  

أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ خَلِّ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهُ فَمَا رَاجَعَهُ عُمَرُ الْكَلَامَ  

[Machine] "And Abu Abdur Rahman As-Sulami informed us that Abu Al-Hasan Al-Mahmoudi Al-Marwazi narrated to us, who narrated to us Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Hafiz, who narrated to us Abu Musa, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from Mujalid, from 'Aamir, from Masrooq, that Umar divorced Umm Asim and she was in the house of her grandmother. So I argued with him until I went to Abu Bakr, and he ruled that the child should be with his grandmother and the maintenance would be upon Umar. And he said, 'She has more right to him.'"  

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْمَحْمُودِيُّ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو مُوسَى عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ طَلَّقَ أُمَّ عَاصِمٍ فَكَانَ فِي حِجْرِ جَدَّتِهِ فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ الْوَلَدُ مَعَ جَدَّتِهِ وَالنَّفَقَةُ عَلَى عُمَرَ ؓ وَقَالَ هِيَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Do not cause a mother to be separated from her child."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تُولَهْ وَالِدَةٌ عَنْ وَلَدِهَا
