Show kindness even when faced with difficult decisions or situations

This hadith speaks of the mercy and compassion of the Prophet Muhammad. Even though he was planning to kill Uthman Ibn Affan for his role in the death of his beloved companion Usama bin Zaid, he still showed mercy towards his children. He asked who would look after them if he were to be killed and when Masruq was appointed as governor by Ad-Dahhak Ibn Qays, Umarah Ibn Uqbah questioned it due to his involvement in killing Usama bin Zaid. However Masruq reminded him that the Prophet liked for them what he liked for himself which shows how merciful and compassionate he was even in difficult situations. This teaches us that we should always show kindness even when we are faced with difficult decisions or situations as this is what our beloved prophet did throughout his life.
