Fatimah was the most beloved daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Fatimah is part of me; whoever hurts her hurts me.

❝ Hadith
'Ali narrated that Fatimah's hands suffered from working the hand-mill. She heard that some captives had come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so she went to ask for a servant, but did not find him and told 'A'ishah. At night, after we had lain down, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, sat between us and said: shall I not teach you something better than what you asked for? When you lie down, say Allahu akbar thirty-four times, subhanAllah thirty-three times and alhamdulillah thirty-three times — that is better for you than a servant.
Sahih al-Bukhari 3705 · Sahih

He could have given a servant. Instead he gave his daughter something that never runs out.

The lesson
The strength that comes from remembering Allah is no less than that of any helper.
