Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "A group of captives was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ), and among them was a woman frantically searching. When she found a baby among the captives, she took him, held him to her chest, and nursed him. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked us, 'Do you think this woman would throw her child into the Fire?' We said, 'No, by Allah, not if she can prevent it.' He said, 'Allah is more merciful to His servants than this woman is to her child.'"
