Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Some Sabi (i.e. war prisoners, children and woman only) were brought before the Prophet and be –
hold, a woman amongst them was milking her breasts to feed and whenever she found a child
amongst the captives, she took it over her chest and nursed it (she had lost her child but later she
found him) the Prophet said to us, “Do you think that this lady can throw her son in the fire?” We
replied, “No, if she has the power not to throw it (in the fire).” The Prophet then said, “Allah is more
merciful to His slaves than this lady to her son.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, Allah divided Mercy into one-hundred parts and He kept its ninety-
nine parts with Him and sent down its one part on the earth, and because of that, its one single part,
His creations are Merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby
animal, lest it should trample on it.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 30:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
I said ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Which sin is the greatest?” He said, “To set up a rival unto Allah, though
He Alone created you.” I said, “What next?” He said, “To kill your son lest he should share your food
with you.” I further asked, “What next?” He said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife
of your neighbor.” And then Allah revealed as proof of the statement of the Prophet: ‘Those who in –
voke not with Allah any other god)…………….. (to end of verse)…’ (25.68)

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 33:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died three years before the
Prophet married me, and that was because I heard him mentioning her too often, and because his
Lord had ordered him to give her the glad tidings that she would have a palace in Paradise, made of
Qasab and because he used to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat among her friends.
