Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A woman came to her with her two daughters. That woman asked for some food. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I found only one date with me, so I gave it to her. She took that date and divided it into two parts and gave it to her daughters. She herself did not eat anything. Then she got up and left. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and I told him about that woman. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever is tested with daughters and treats them well, these daughters become a means of protection for him from Hell.
