Narrated to me Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali al-Hulwani and Muhammad ibn Sahl al-Tamimi — and the wording is that of Hasan — who said: Ibn Abi Maryam narrated to us, Abu Ghassan narrated to us, Zayd ibn Aslam narrated to me, from his father, from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, that he said: Captives were brought to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and there was a woman among the captives who was searching — whenever she found a child among the captives, she took it, pressed it to her belly, and nursed it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to us: "Do you see this woman throwing her child into the fire?" We said: "No, by Allah, and she is able not to throw it." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah is more merciful to His servants than this woman is to her child."
