Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4093 — a poor woman came to me carrying her two
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ قَالَ : نَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ : نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ صِرْمَةَ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : جَاءَتْنِي مِسْكِينَةٌ تَحْمِلُ ابْنَيْنِ لَهَا ، فَأَطْعَمْتُهَا ثَلَاثَ تَمَرَاتٍ ، فَأَعْطَتِ ابْنَيْهَا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا تَمْرَةً ، وَرَفَعَتْ إِلَى فِيهَا تَمْرَةً لِتَأْكُلَهَا ، فَاسْتَطْعَمَهَا ابْنَاهَا ، فَشَقَّتِ التَّمْرَةَ الَّتِي أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ بَيْنَهُمَا ، فَأَعْجَبَنِي شَأْنُهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُهَا وَالَّذِي صَنَعَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَوْجَبَ لَهَا الْجَنَّةَ ، وَأَعْتَقَهَا مِنَ النَّارِ .
The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that a poor woman came to me carrying her two children. I gave her three dates to eat. She gave one date each to her two children and raised one date to her mouth to eat it herself, but her two children asked her for that one too. So she split the date that she had wanted to eat into two pieces and divided it between them. Her conduct pleased me greatly, so I mentioned her and what she had done to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has made Paradise binding for her and has freed her from Hell."
