“Why should Allaah punish you if you have thanked (Him) and have believed in Him. And Allaah is Ever All¬Appreciative (of good), All¬Knowing.” (4:147)
‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
“Some prisoners were brought to the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and there was a woman among the prisoners who was looking (for her child). When she found her child she embraced him and put him to her breast. The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to us,
“Do you think that this woman would throw her child in the fire?”
We said, “No, by Allaah, not if she is able not to.”
The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
“Allaah is more merciful to His slaves than this woman is to her child.”
