Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the night I was taken on the night journey, I came upon a pure fragrance. I asked: O Jibril! Whose is this pure fragrance? He said: This is the fragrance of the woman who combed the hair of Pharaoh's daughter, and of her children. I asked: What is her story? He said: Once this woman was combing the hair of Pharaoh's daughter when the comb fell from her hand, and she said: (I begin) with the name of Allah Almighty, seeking blessing. Pharaoh's daughter asked her: Do you mean my father? The woman replied: No! I mean my Lord and your father's Lord, Allah Almighty. Pharaoh's daughter said: Shall I tell my father this? The woman said: Yes! Pharaoh's daughter told Pharaoh, and Pharaoh summoned the woman and said: O so-and-so! Do you have a lord other than me? The woman replied: Yes! My Lord and your Lord is Allah Almighty. At Pharaoh's command a copper vessel was heated, and then Pharaoh ordered that the woman and her children be thrown into it. Before that, the woman said to Pharaoh: I have a request of you. Pharaoh asked: What is your request? The woman replied: I ask that you gather my bones and the bones of my children in a single cloth and then bury us together. Pharaoh said: That is a duty upon us. Then Pharaoh ordered that her children be thrown into it one by one in front of the woman. This was done until the turn came of the woman's nursing infant. The woman was distressed because of this child, and he (the nursing infant) said: O mother! Have courage, for the punishment of this world is lighter than the punishment of the Hereafter. So the woman leapt in."
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Four children spoke in infancy: Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him), the child in the incident of Jurayj, the witness of Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him), and the son of the woman who combed the hair of Pharaoh's daughter.
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Bazzar recorded it, and Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Ata' bin al-Sa'ib, who is thiqah (trustworthy) but suffered from confusion (ikhtilat).
