3828. Narrated Asmā' bint Abī Bakr رضي الله عنها: I saw Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail standing with his back against the Ka'bah and saying, "O people of Quraish! By Allāh, none amongst you is on the religion of Ibrāhīm except me." (She added:) He (Zaid) used to preserve the lives of little girls: If somebody wanted to kill his daughter he would say to him, "Do not kill her for I will feed her on your behalf." So, he would take her, and when she grew up nicely, he would say to her father, "Now if you will (wish), I will give her to you, and If you will (wish), I will feed her on your behalf."

3828 - وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ، كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَتْ: " رَأَيْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ قَائِمًا مُسْنِدًا ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ يَقُولُ: يَا مَعَاشِرَ قُرَيْشٍ، وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ عَلَى دِينِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ غَيْرِي، وَكَانَ يُحْيِي المَوْءُودَةَ، يَقُولُ لِلرَّجُلِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ ابْنَتَهُ، لاَ تَقْتُلْهَا، أَنَا أَكْفِيكَهَا مَئُونَتَهَا، فَيَأْخُذُهَا فَإِذَا تَرَعْرَعَتْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهَا: إِنْ شِئْتَ دَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْكَ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ كَفَيْتُكَ مَئُونَتَهَا "
