2276. 'Amr bin Shu'aib narrated from his father, from his grandfather that a woman said: "O Messenger of Allāh! This son of mine: My womb was a protective bag for him, and my breasts were his sustenance, and my house was a protection for him. Now, his father has divorced me, and wishes to take him away from me." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to her: "You have more right to him, as long as you do not re-marry." (Hasan)
2276 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ السُّلَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا كَانَ بَطْنِي لَهُ وِعَاءً، وَثَدْيِي لَهُ سِقَاءً، وَحِجْرِي لَهُ حِوَاءً، وَإِنَّ أَبَاهُ طَلَّقَنِي، وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْتَزِعَهُ مِنِّي، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنْتِ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مَا لَمْ تَنْكِحِي»

This authentic Hadīth proves that, until a mother marries again, she has the right to keep the child more than the father and, even after marriage, she has the right to keep the child with her with the consent of the father. In case he does not agree, the child will be given over to the father.
