وَعَن عَوْف بن مَالك الْأَشْجَعِيّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَنَا وَامْرَأَةٌ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ كَهَاتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» . وَأَوْمَأَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ ذُرَيْعٍ إِلَى الْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةِ «امْرَأَةٌ آمَتْ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وجمالٍ حبَستْ نفسهاعلى يتاماها حَتَّى بانوا أوماتوا» رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
‘Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "I and the woman whose cheeks have turned black (because of looking after her children) will be like these two on the day of resurrection." (One of the sub-narrator) yazid ibn Zarai رحمه الله pointed out his middle and forefinger. (He described the woman as a) "woman of rank and beauty who has lost her husband (through death or divorce) and devotes herself to her orphan children till they separate (on becoming adult and independent) or die."
