It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with her two children to ask for something. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her three dates. She gave one date each to both children (and picked up the third to eat herself). In the meantime, one of the children started crying, so she broke the third date into two pieces and gave one piece to each child (and herself remained hungry). Seeing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These mothers who carry their children are so kind to their offspring. If it were not for what they do with their husbands, their prayers would admit them to Paradise."
