Hadith of the Day
'Umar ibnil-Khattab Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that some prisoners (of war) were brought before Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, and a woman from amongst the prisoners was searching (for her child). Upon finding the infant among the prisoners, she took him, placed him with her body and began nursing him. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said to us: Do you think this woman can cast her son into the fire? We replied: No, by Allah, so long as she is in a position not to cast him. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Indeed, Allah is more Merciful to His slaves than this woman is to her son! (Muslim: 6978)
