Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: A poor woman came to me, carrying two daughters. I gave her three dates. She gave each daughter one date and raised one to her mouth to eat, but both her daughters wanted that date from her as well. So she broke that date into pieces and gave them to both of them. This action of hers amazed me, and when I mentioned her deed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Surely, because of this, Allah Almighty has admitted her into Paradise and freed her from Hell.
