Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ امْرَأَةٌ وَمَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا تَسْأَلُنِي فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي شَيْئًا غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَا فَأَخَذَتْهَا فَشَقَّتْهَا بِاثْنَيْنِ بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ هِيَ وَابْنَتَاهَا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ ابْتُلِيَ مِنْ الْبَنَاتِ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنْ النَّارِ.
English Translation
Bishr ibn Shu'ayb told us: My father told me, from al-Zuhri, who said: Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm told me that Urwah ibn al-Zubayr informed him that A'isha, wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A woman came with her two daughters, asking me for something, and she found nothing with me except a single date, so I gave it to her. She took it and split it in two between her two daughters, and did not eat any of it herself. Then she got up and left, she and her two daughters. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in to me, and I told him her story, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever is tried with daughters in any way and treats them well, they will be a shield for him from the Fire."
