وَعَنْهَا قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ وَمَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا تَسْأَلُنِي فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَا فَقَسَمَتْهَا بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ. فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ: «مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
Sayyidah Ayshah Narrated from:
A woman came to her along with her two daughters. She asked for her something, but nothing was found with her at that time beside one date. She gave it to her and she gave half of it to each of her daughters (equally) and did not eat anything of it herself. Then she arose and departed. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came shortly thereafter and she reported that to him. He said, "If anyone is tried because of these girls (meaning, one, two or more daughters) and he is kind (and gentle) to them, then they will be an obstruction for him from hell.” [1]
