Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad · Good hadith
عن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عنهما أن امرأة قالت: يا رسول الله، إن ابني هذا كان بطني له وِعاء، وثَدْيِي له سِقاء، وحِجْري له حِواء، وإن أباه طَلَّقَني، وأراد أنْ يَنْتَزِعَه مِني، فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «أنتِ أحقُّ به ما لم تَنكحي».
“‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr reported that a woman said: "O Messenger of Allah, for this son of mine, my womb was a vessel, my breast was a watering pot, and my lap was a holder, yet his father has divorced me and wants to take him away from me." The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'You are more entitled to him (the child's custody) as long as you do not get married.''”
