Umar bin Khattab reported that there were brought some prisoners to Allahs Messenger ﷺ amongst whom there was also a woman, who was searching (for someone) and when she found a child amongst the prisoners, she took hold of it, pressed it against her chest and provided it suck. Thereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: Do you think this woman would ever afford to throw her child in the Fire? We said: By Allah, so far as it lies in her power, she would never throw the child in Fire. Thereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: Allah is more kind to His servants than this woman is to her child.
