حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَتْهُ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ تَسْأَلُنِي، فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا، فَقَسَمَتْهَا بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا، ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ، فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ يَلِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَنَاتِ شَيْئًا فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ»

(the wife of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) A lady along with her two daughters came to me asking me (for some alms), but she found nothing with me except one date which I gave to her and she divided it between her two daughters, and then she got up and went away. Then the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came in and I informed him about this story.

He said, “Whoever is in charge of (put to test by) these daughters and treats them generously, then they will act as a shield for him from the (Hell) Fire.”

নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর স্ত্রী ‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ একটি স্ত্রীলোক দু’টি মেয়ে সাথে নিয়ে আমার কাছে এসে কিছু চাইলো। আমার কাছে একটি খুরমা ব্যতীত আর কিছুই সে পেলো না। আমি তাকে ওটা দিলাম। স্ত্রীলোকটি তার দু’মেয়েকে খুরমাটি ভাগ করে দিল। তারপর সে উঠে বের হয়ে গেল। এ সময় নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এলেন।

আমি তাঁকে ব্যাপারটি জানালাম। তখন তিনি বললেনঃ যাকে এ সব কন্যা সন্তান দিয়ে কোন পরীক্ষা করা হয়, অতঃপর সে তাদের সাথে ভাল ব্যবহার করে, এ কন্যারা তার জন্য জাহান্নামের আগুন থেকে প্রতিবন্ধক হবে। [১৪১৮]

ہم سے ابوالیمان نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو شعیب نے خبر دی، ان سے زہری نے بیان کیا، کہا مجھ سے عبداللہ بن ابی بکر نے بیان کیا، انہیں عروہ بن زبیر نے خبر دی اور ان سے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی زوجہ مطہرہ عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے بیان کیا کہ میرے یہاں ایک عورت ( اور ) اس کے ساتھ دو بچیاں تھیں، وہ مانگنے آئی تھی۔

میرے پاس سے سوا ایک کھجور کے اسے اور کچھ نہ ملا۔ میں نے اسے وہ کھجور دے دی اور اس نے وہ کھجور اپنی دونوں لڑکیوں کو تقسیم کر دی۔ پھر اٹھ کر چلی گئی اس کے بعد نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم تشریف لائے تو میں نے آپ سے اس کا ذکر کیا تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جو شخص بھی اس طرح کی لڑکیوں کی پرورش کرے گا اور ان کے ساتھ اچھا معاملہ کرے گا تو یہ اس کے لیے جہنم سے پردہ بن جائیں گی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Al Yaman] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Syu'aib] dari [Az Zuhri] dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abdullah bin Abu Bakr] bahwa ['Urwah bin Zubair] telah mengabarkan kepadanya bahwa [Aisyah isteri nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam] telah menceritakan kepadanya, katanya; "Seorang wanita bersama dua anaknya pernah datang kepadaku,

dia meminta (makanan) kepadaku, namun aku tidak memiliki sesuatu yang dapat dimakan melainkan satu buah kurma, kemudian aku memberikan kepadanya dan membagi untuk kedua anaknya, setelah itu wanita tersebut berdiri dan beranjak keluar, tiba-tiba Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam datang dan aku pun memberitahukan peristiwa yang baru aku alami, beliau bersabda: "Barangsiapa yang diuji sesuatu karena anak-anak perempuannya lalu ia berlaku baik terhadap mereka maka mereka akan melindunginya dari api neraka

Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in zevcesi Aişe r.anha'dan, dedi ki: "Beraberinde iki kız çocuğu bulunan bir kadın yanıma gelip benden bir şeyler dilendi, ama yanımda bir tek hurmadan başka bir şey bulamadı. Ben de o hurmayı ona verdim. Kadın onu iki kız çocuğu arasında ikiye böldü, sonra da kalktı ve çıkıp gitti. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem yanıma girdi.

Ben de ona olanı anlatınca, şöyle buyurdu: Bu kız çocuklarından bir kaçına kim velayet edecek olup da onlara iyilikte bulunursa, o kız çocukları onun için cehennem ateşine karşı bir perde olurlar

Sahih al-Bukhari 5995, Book 78, Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab), Hadith 26. 1 min read

What it means

The Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), informed that a woman came to her with her two daughters, asking for food. ‘Ā’ishah found nothing but a single date, which she gave to the woman. The woman split the date between her two daughters without eating any herself, then left. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered, ‘Ā’ishah told him what happened.

He said: Whoever is responsible for these daughters and takes care of them and treats them well—educating them, feeding them, giving them drink, clothing them, and enduring all that with patience—they will be a shield and a barrier for him from Hellfire.

What it teaches

  • Caring for daughters and striving to provide for them are among the finest righteous deeds that shield one from Hellfire.
  • It is recommended to give charity with whatever one can afford, even if it is small.
  • The profound compassion of parents toward their children.
  • Clarifying the condition of the households of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and that his provision was just sufficient.
  • Illustrating the virtue of altruism, or selflessness, as a hallmark of the believers, for ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) preferred the woman and her two daughters over herself, which indicates her generosity and nobility despite her own dire need.
  • The blessing of daughters is called 'trial' because of the hardship and fatigue involved in their upbringing, or due to some people's dislike for them, or because they often lack the means of earning and a livelihood.
  • Islam came to eradicate the detestable practices of the pre-Islamic era, and thus it calls for honoring and caring for daughters.
  • This reward is attained even in the case of caring for one daughter, as mentioned in some narrations.
