Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A poor woman came carrying her two daughters. I gave her three dates to eat. She gave one date to each of her daughters and raised one date to her mouth to eat it herself, but both daughters asked for it. She then split the date, which she wanted to eat herself, into two pieces and divided it between them. I was very impressed by her kindness. I mentioned her action to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Allah the Almighty has made Paradise obligatory for this woman and has freed her from Hell because of this.
