Mishkat al-Masabih 4937 — Honoring the Foster Mother
وَعَن أبي الطُّفَيْل قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْسِمُ لَحْمًا بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ حَتَّى دَنَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَسَطَ لَهَا رِدَاءَهُ فَجَلَسَتْ عَلَيْهِ. فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هِيَ؟ فَقَالُوا: هِيَ أُمُّهُ الَّتِي أَرْضَعَتْهُ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Abu Tufail (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at the place of Ji‘ranah distributing meat. Suddenly, a woman came until she reached close to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he spread his cloak for her, and she sat on it. I asked, "Who is she?" They replied: "She is the Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) foster mother." Its chain is weak. Narrated by Abu Dawood.
