The child of a martyr

The son of a martyred Muslim in Uhud, asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was wounded and sorrowful, in the evening of the same day:

-“Where is my father?”

-“Your father has been martyred.”

The son of the martyr started to cry. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) caressed his head, took him into his lap and asked the child:

-“Would you like me to be your father and Aisha your mother.”
