Narrated Abu Ayub al-Ansari (RA): I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Whoever separates a mother from her child, May Allah separate him from his beloved ones on the Day of Resurrection." [Reported by Ahmad. at-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic). However, it's chain of narrators has some weakness. But, it has a supporting narration].
Explanation: ➊ This hadith teaches the lesson of maintaining family ties (silat ar-rahm), namely that when selling slaves and bondwomen, their underage children should not be separated from their mothers. They should not be sold to different places or to different people, as this affects the mother’s maternal affection.
➋ In the narrations of Darqutni and Hakim, the specification of “underage” (nabaligh) is explicitly mentioned. (Sunan al-Daraqutni: 3/67, and al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim: 2/55)
➌ Whoever commits cruelty and severs family ties in this world, Allah ta‘ala will cause separation between him and his close loved ones and relatives on the Day of Resurrection.
