Hadith 24611

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْهَادِ ، أَنَّ زِيَادَ بْنَ أَبِي زِيَادٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَيَّاشٍ ، حَدَّثَهُ , عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : جَاءَتْنِي مِسْكِينَةٌ تَحْمِلُ ابْنَتَيْنِ لَهَا ، فَأَطْعَمْتُهَا ثَلَاثَ تَمَرَاتٍ ، فَأَعْطَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا تَمْرَةً ، وَرَفَعَتْ إِلَى فِيهَا تَمْرَةً لِتَأْكُلَهَا ، فَاسْتَطْعَمَتْهَا ابْنَتَاهَا ، فَشَقَّتْ التَّمْرَةَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَأْكُلَهَا بَيْنَهُمَا ، قَالَتْ : فَأَعْجَبَنِي شَأْنُهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي صَنَعَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَوْجَبَ لَهَا بِهَا الْجَنَّةَ ، وَأَعْتَقَهَا بِهَا مِنَ النَّارِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that once a poor woman came to me carrying her two daughters. I gave her three dates. She gave one date each to her daughters and brought one date to her mouth to eat herself, but at that moment her daughters asked her for more dates. So she divided that date into two parts and gave them to her daughters. I was greatly amazed at this incident. Later, I mentioned this incident to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has made Paradise obligatory for that woman because of this and has freed her from Hell.
