Some captives were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and there was a woman among the captives searching about, and whenever she found a child among the captives, she would take it, press it against her belly, and nurse it.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "Do you think this woman would throw her child into the fire?"We replied, "No, by Allah, not while she is able to keep from throwing him."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Allah is more merciful toward His servants than this woman is toward her child."
قدم على رسول الله ﷺ بسبي فإذا امرأة من السبي، تبتغي إذا وجدت صبيا في السبي، أخذته فألصقته ببطنها وأرضعته، فقال لنا رسول الله ﷺ: أترون هذه المرأة طارحة ولدها في النار؟ قلنا: لا، والله وهي تقدر على أن لا تطرحه، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: الله أرحم بعباده من هذه بولدها.
