Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with her children. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his household (for something to eat), and only three dates were found, which he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to her. She gave each child a date and kept one for herself. Her children began to cry, so she took that date and split it into two halves, giving half to one and half to the other. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Women who carry, give birth, nurse and are merciful to their children: were it not for (some of) their shortcomings towards their husbands, those among them who pray would (all) enter Paradise."
