Treating daughters with compassion during difficulty is a shield from Hellfire

A woman came with two daughters of hers, asking ˹for charity˺. I did not find anything with me except a single date, so I gave it to her. She divided it between her two daughters and did not eat any of it herself. Then she got up and left. Then the Prophet ﷺ came in to us, and I informed him, and he said: “Whoever is tested with something of these daughters, they will be a shield for him from the Fire.”

دَخَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا تَسْأَلُ۔ فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي شَيْئًا غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَ،ا 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».
