Sunan Abi Dawud 4213 (Book 35, Hadith 55) #24503
The Prophet's Love for His Family

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed his love for his family by visiting them first when he returned from a journey and not wanting them to enjoy their good things in the present life.

Narrated Thawban: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on a journey, the last member of his family he saw was Fatimah, and the first he visited on his return was Fatimah. Once when he returned from an expedition she had hung up a hair-cloth, or a curtain, at her door, and adorned al-Hasan and al-Husayn with silver bracelets. So when he arrived, he did not enter. Thinking that he had been prevented from entering by what he had seen, she tore down the curtain, unfastened the bracelets from the boys and cut them off. They went weeping to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he had taken them from them, he said: Take this to so and so's family. Thawban. In Medina, these are my family, and I did not like them to enjoy their good things in the present life. Buy Fatimah a necklace or asb, Thawban, and two ivory bracelets.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُحَادَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الشَّامِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَنْبِهِيِّ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ كَانَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهِ بِإِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَاطِمَةَ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا قَدِمَ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَدِمَ مِنْ غَزَاةٍ لَهُ وَقَدْ عَلَّقَتْ مِسْحًا أَوْ سِتْرًا عَلَى بَابِهَا وَحَلَّتِ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ قُلْبَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَقَدِمَ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَظَنَّتْ أَنَّ مَا مَنَعَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَا رَأَى فَهَتَكَتِ السِّتْرَ وَفَكَّكَتِ الْقُلْبَيْنِ عَنِ الصَّبِيَّيْنِ وَقَطَعَتْهُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَانْطَلَقَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُمَا يَبْكِيَانِ فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْهُمَا وَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا ثَوْبَانُ اذْهَبْ بِهَذَا إِلَى آلِ فُلاَنٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا طَيِّبَاتِهِمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِمُ الدُّنْيَا يَا ثَوْبَانُ اشْتَرِ لِفَاطِمَةَ قِلاَدَةً مِنْ عَصَبٍ وَسِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ عَاجٍ

Showing love towards your family members is important

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the immense love that the Prophet Muhammad had for his family. When he went on a journey and returned home, Fatimah was always the last person he saw before leaving and the first person he visited upon returning. On one occasion when he returned from an expedition she had hung up a curtain at her door and adorned al-Hasan and al-Husayn with silver bracelets. Seeing this made him feel uncomfortable as it seemed like they were enjoying their good things in this life too much so she tore down the curtain and cut off their bracelets. He then told her to take them to someone else’s family as these are my family in Medina but I do not want them to enjoy their good things in this life too much. He then asked Thawban to buy Fatimah a necklace or asb along with two ivory bracelets instead of silver ones which would be more appropriate for her station in life according to him. This hadith shows us how much love our beloved Prophet Muhammad had for his family even though they were already living comfortably enough without any extra luxuries or extravagance that could be seen as inappropriate according to Islamic teachings.
