حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ خِلَاسٍ هُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو الْهَجَرِيُّ، فِيمَا أَحْسَبُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا امْرَأَةٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ (١) قَبْلَكُمْ تُرْضِعُ ابْنًا لَهَا، إِذْ مَرَّ بِهَا فَارِسٌ مُتَكَبِّرٌ، عَلَيْهِ شَارَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ، فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: اللهُمَّ، لَا تُمِيتَنَّ (٢) ابْنِي هَذَا حَتَّى أَرَاهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْفَارِسِ عَلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا الْفَرَسِ "، قَالَ: " فَتَرَكَ الصَّبِيُّ الثَّدْيَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللهُمَّ، لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِثْلَ هَذَا الْفَارِسِ "، قَالَ: " ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى الثَّدْيِ يَرْضَعُ، ثُمَّ مَرُّوا بِجِيفَةٍ حَبَشِيَّةٍ أَوْ زِنْجِيَّةٍ تُجَرُّ، فَقَالَتْ: أُعِيذُ ابْنِي بِاللهِ أَنْ يَمُوتَ مِيتَةَ هَذِهِ الْحَبَشِيَّةِ أَوِ الزِّنْجِيَّةِ، فَتَرَكَ الثَّدْيَ، وَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ، أَمِتْنِي مِيتَةَ هَذِهِ الْحَبَشِيَّةِ أَوِ الزِّنْجِيَّةِ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ: يَا بُنَيَّ، سَأَلْتُ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ الْفَارِسِ، فَقُلْتَ: اللهُمَّ، لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِثْلَهُ، وَسَأَلْتُ رَبَّكَ أَلَّا يُمِيتَكَ مِيتَةَ هَذِهِ الْحَبَشِيَّةِ أَوِ الزِّنْجِيَّةِ، فَسَأَلْتَ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يُمِيتَكَ مِيتَتَهَا "، قَالَ: " فَقَالَ الصَّبِيُّ: إِنَّكِ دَعَوْتِ رَبَّكِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِثْلَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، وَإِنَّ الْحَبَشِيَّةَ أَوِ الزِّنْجِيَّةَ كَانَ أَهْلُهَا يَسُبُّونَهَا،، ، وَيَضْرِبُونَهَا، وَيَظْلِمُونَهَا، فَتَقُولُ: حَسْبِيَ اللهُ حَسْبِيَ اللهُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Among the Children of Israel, there was a woman who was breastfeeding her son. By chance, a rider wearing embroidered clothes passed by. The woman said, "O Allah, make my child like him." The child left his mother's breast, turned towards the rider, and said, "O Allah, do not make me like him," and then started suckling again. After a while, some people passed by, taking along a slave woman (whom they were beating on the way). The woman said, "I seek Allah's protection for my child that he may not die like this Abyssinian woman." The child immediately stopped suckling and said, "O Allah, make me like her." The mother asked the child, "Why did you wish for this?" The child replied, "That rider was a tyrant (so I prayed not to be like him), and people are abusing this slave woman, oppressing her, and she keeps saying, 'Allah is sufficient for me.'"
