The Messenger of Allah said, “On the night in which I was taken by night, a fragrance came my way, and so I said, ‘O Gabriel! What is this pleasant fragrance?’ He said, ‘This is the fragrance of the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter, and [of the hairdresser’s] children.’ I said, ‘What is her situation?’ He said, ‘While she was combing Pharaoh’s daughter’s hair one day, the comb fell from her hand, so she said, ‘In the name of Allah’” Pharaoh’s daughter asked. ‘[You mean] my father?’ She said, ‘No, rather my Lord, and the Lord of your father, is Allah.’ She said, ‘Can I tell him that?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ The hadith goes on to describe that a huge brass pot was heated, and it was ordered for her and her children to be cast therein. She requested from Pharaoh - and he acceded to her request - that her bones and her children’s bones be gathered in a single cloth and be buried. Her children were then thrown into the cauldron one by one before her eyes, until they got to a suckling infant, and it seemed she wavered on account of him, but he said, ‘O mother! Jump in, for the torture of this world is lighter the punishment of the Hereafter.’ So she jumped in.” [Ahmad and Ibn Majah]
