Hadith #21
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَرْحَمَ بِالْعِيَالِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مُسْتَرْضَعًا فِي عَوَالِي الْمَد
ِينَةِ وَكَانَ يَنْطَلِقُ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ فَيَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ وَإِنَّهُ لَيُدَّخَنُ وَكَانَ ظِئْرُهُ قَيْنًا فَيَأْخُذُهُ فَيُقَبِّلُهُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنِي وَإِنَّهُ مَاتَ فِي الثَّدْيِ فَإِنَّ لَهُ ظِئْرَيْنِ يُكْمِلَانِ رَضَاعَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
English Translation
Sufyan narrated from Isma'il who (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that ayyub informed us from 'Amr ibn Sa'id, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) who said: I have never seen anyone more merciful to children than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. His son Ibrahim was being nursed in the outskirts of Madinah, and he would go to him and we would accompany him. He would enter the house, which was smoky because his wet-nurse's husband was a blacksmith, and he would pick up the child and kiss him, then return.
