Sunan an-Nasai 3326 (Book 26, Hadith 131) #17938
The Permissibility of Ghilah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was considering forbidding Ghilah, a practice done by the Persians and Romans, but then remembered that it does not harm their children.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that Judamah bint Wahb told her that the Messenger of Allah said: "I was thinking of forbidding Ghilah until I remembered that it is done by the Persians and Romans" -(one of the narrators) Ishaq said: "(They) do that -and it does not harm their children".
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتَ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنِ الْغِيلَةِ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومَ يَصْنَعُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ ‏"‏ يَصْنَعُونَهُ فَلاَ يَضُرُّ أَوْلاَدَهُمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Consider all aspects before making a decision

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is considering forbidding a practice called "Ghilah". This is something done by both the Persians and Romans. However, he remembers that it does not harm their children and so decides to allow it. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about making decisions - we should always consider all aspects before making a decision as there may be factors we are unaware of which could change our opinion on something. We should also remember to take into account how our decisions will affect others, especially children who are more vulnerable than adults.
