Hadith 15
Marriage
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA):
A woman said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , my husband wants to take away my son, while he has benefited me and provided me with drinking water from the well of Abu 'Inabah." Then her husband came and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Young man, this is your father and this is your mother, so take whoever of them you wish by the hand." He took his mother's hand and she went off with him. [Reported by Ahmad and al-Arba'a. at-Tirmidhi graded it Sahih (authentic)].
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّ اِمْرَأَةً قَالَتْ: { يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! إِنَّ زَوْجِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِابْنِي, وَقَدْ نَفَعَنِي, وَسَقَانِي مِنْ بِئْرِ أَبِي عِنَبَةَ [1] فَجَاءَ زَوْجُهَا, فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -
يَا غُلَامُ! هَذَا أَبُوكَ وَهَذِهِ [2] أُمُّكَ, فَخُذْ بِيَدِ أَيُّهُمَا شِئْتَ
