Sahih Muslim 1912d (Book 33, Hadith 232) #12042
Visiting Relatives

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) visited his aunt and placed his head near her.

It has been reported by 'Abdullah b. 'Abd al-Rahman that he heard Anas b. Malik say: The Messenger of Allah paid a visit to Milhan's daughter, maternal aunt of Anas (and the sister of the Holy Prophet's foster-mother). He placed his head near her (from this point onward, the narrator carried on the previous tradition to its end).
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ابْنَةَ مِلْحَانَ خَالَةَ أَنَسٍ فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ عِنْدَهَا ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of visiting relatives and showing them respect and kindness. It is narrated by Abdullah b. Abd al-Rahman that he heard Anas b. Malik say that the Prophet Muhammad paid a visit to Milhan's daughter, who was the maternal aunt of Anas and the sister of the Holy Prophet's foster-mother. During this visit, he showed her respect by placing his head near her as a sign of humility and kindness towards her as a relative. This hadith teaches us to be kind to our relatives no matter how distant they may be from us, for it is an act pleasing to Allah SWT which will bring about blessings in our lives as well as theirs'. We should also remember that we are all related in some way or another through our faith in Islam, so we should treat each other with love and compassion regardless if they are family or not.
