Sunan Abi Dawud 374 (Book 1, Hadith 374) #20665
Kindness and Mercy of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed kindness and mercy to a young child, even when the child urinated on his clothes.

Umm Qais daughter of Mihsan reported that she came to the Messenger of Allah with her little son who had not attained the age of eating food. The Messenger of Allah seated him in his lap, and he urinated on his clothe. He sent for water and sprayed it (over his clothe) and did not wash it.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ، أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ بِابْنٍ لَهَا صَغِيرٍ لَمْ يَأْكُلِ الطَّعَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَجْلَسَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي حِجْرِهِ فَبَالَ عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَنَضَحَهُ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ
