صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has made Paradise Wājib for that woman because of this (self-sacrifice) of her.’
(Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp. 1415, Ḥadīš 2630)
مَـا شَــآءَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! How wonderful self-sacrifice is! If only we had also learnt how to sacrifice our favourite things! Listen to the following blessed Ḥadīš to enhance motivation: The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘The person who desires a thing [and] then, overcoming that desire, prefers anyone else to himself, then Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgives him.’ (Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, vol. 3, pp. 114)
Sayyidunā Anas Bin Mālik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Prophet of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: One who brings something new for his children from the marketplace, is like the one who is making Ṣadaqaĥ to them. And he should begin with the daughters [i.e. he should give the thing to daughters first] because Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has mercy on daughters. And the person who shows mercy and kindness to his daughters, is like the one who weeps in fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the one who pleases his daughters, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will please him on the Judgment Day.’ (Al-Firdaus, vol. 2, pp. 263, Ḥadīš 5830)
