Sahih Muslim 2317 (Book 43, Hadith 85) #13110
The Mercy of the Prophet Towards Children

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching mercy and kindness towards children, even if it is not a common practice in some cultures.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that there came a few desert Arabs to Allah's Messenger and said: Do you kiss your children? He said: Yes. Thereupon they said: By Allah but we do not kiss our children. Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: Then what can I do if Allah has deprived you of mercy? Ibn Numair said: (We has deprived) your heart of mercy.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، وَابْنُ، نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَدِمَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا أَتُقَبِّلُونَ صِبْيَانَكُمْ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا لَكِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نُقَبِّلُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ وَأَمْلِكُ إِنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ نَزَعَ مِنْكُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ‏"‏ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ الرَّحْمَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of showing mercy and kindness to children. It tells us that even if certain cultures do not show such behavior, we should still strive to be kind and merciful towards our children. The Prophet Muhammad's response when asked about kissing his own children was that he did so, but if others did not then there was nothing he could do as Allah had deprived them of mercy. This teaches us that we should always strive to show love and compassion for our young ones no matter what culture or background they come from. We must remember that Allah has given us all a great gift in our children, and it is up to us as parents to nurture them with love and kindness so they can grow into strong individuals who will make positive contributions in society.
