It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was late for the Fajr prayer. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Where were you delayed? He replied: I passed by Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her); she was operating the millstone and the child was crying. I said to her: If you wish, I will operate the millstone and you can tend to the child, or I will tend to the child and you can operate the millstone. She said: I am more compassionate and kind to the child than you. So this task made me late for the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You showed compassion to Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her), may Allah have mercy on you.
