Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from Sayyidah Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the nurse who raised Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), the son of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that she said: "O Messenger of Allah, you give men glad tidings of every good; do you not give glad tidings to women?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did your friends put you up to this?" She said: "Yes, they are the ones who told me to." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is any one of you not pleased that when she is pregnant by her husband and he is pleased with her, she receives a reward equal to that of one who fasts by day and stands in worship by night in the path of Allah? Then when labour pains come upon her, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth do not know what coolness of the eyes has been hidden for her (in return for this hardship). Then when she gives birth, for every gulp of her milk that comes out, or every single time the child suckles, a good deed is recorded for that woman for each gulp and each suckle. And if the child keeps her awake through the night, she receives a reward equal to freeing seventy slaves in the path of Allah. O Salamah, do you know for whom I have described this reward? It is for those chaste, righteous women who are obedient to their husbands and who are not ungrateful to their husbands."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only with this chain, and Hisham bin Ammar is alone in narrating it."
