\"\"<\/a>The splitting of the chest occurred four times in the mubaarak life of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).<\/p>\n

The first occurred during his childhood when he was in the care of Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha). He was four years old at the time. He was on the grazing-field when two angels, Hazrat Jibraa\u2019eel (\u2018alaihis salaam) and Hazrat Mikaa\u2019eel (alaihis salaam), appeared as men in white garments carrying a golden tray laden with ice. They cut open his chest and removed his pure heart. They then split open his pure heart and removed one or two lumps of congealed blood and said, \u201cThis is shaytaan\u2019s portion.\u201d They placed his heart in the tray and washed it with ice water, after which they returned it to its original location, stitched his chest and applied a seal between his shoulder blades.<\/p>\n

The splitting of the chest left Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) worried that some calamity may befall Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam). Hence, she took him to his mother, Hazrat Aaminah, in Makkah Mukarramah, and informed her of what had transpired. Upon hearing what happened to the child, Hazrat Aaminah was in no way alarmed. She then mentioned the noor, the divine barakaat (blessings) and good that she had experienced during pregnancy and at the time of birth, after which she said, \u201cThe status and condition of this son of mine will be very great. Shaytaan will have no access to him. Do not worry as no calamity will befall him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) then returned home and Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) began living with his mother. When Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was six years old, his mother decided to journey to Madinah Munawwarah and took him along with her. Hazrat Umme Ayman (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) also accompanied them on this trip. She stayed at her parents\u2019 home for a month and thereafter returned with Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to Makkah Mukarramah. While returning to Makkah Mukarramah, she passed away at a place called Abwaa and was buried there as well.<\/p>\n
