Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that some captives were brought to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Among the captives was a woman whose breast was full of milk, and she was running around. Then she found a child among the captives, immediately took him to her belly, and began to nurse him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to us, "Do you think this woman could throw her child into the fire?" We replied, "No, as long as she has the power, she would never throw her child into the fire." Upon this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Allah is more merciful to His servants than this woman is to her child."
