“One day [‘Aishah bint Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her)] was fasting and a beggar came to her apartment and asked for some food. She told her maid to give the lady the piece of bread they had. The maid answered that there was nothing else with which she could break her fast. 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) answered curtly that she should help the hungry woman and the evening would take care of itself. By the evening, someone sent her a dish of cooked meat; she said to the maid that Allah 'Azza wa jal had provided her with something even better than what she had given away.”
Taken from “Great Women of Islam Who were given the good News of Paradise” by Mahmood Ahmad Ghadanfar.
