Sahih al-Bukhari 2602 (Book 51, Hadith 36) #2490
Kindness to Children

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) showed kindness and consideration to a young boy by offering him the drink first, even though there were older people present.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: A drink (milk mixed with water) was brought to the Prophet who drank some of it while a boy was sitting on his right and old men on his left. The Prophet said to the boy, "If you permit me, I'll give (the rest of the drink to) these old men first". The boy said, "I will not give preference to any one over me as regards my share from you, O Allah's Messenger !" The Prophet then put that container in the boy's hand. .
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلاَمٌ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ الأَشْيَاخُ فَقَالَ لِلْغُلاَمِ ‏ "‏ إِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي أَعْطَيْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأُوثِرَ بِنَصِيبِي مِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا‏.‏ فَتَلَّهُ فِي يَدِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of showing kindness and consideration to children. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was offered a drink, but instead of drinking it all himself, he offered it first to a young boy who was sitting beside him. Even though there were older people present, the Prophet ﷺ chose to show respect and kindness towards the child by offering him his share first. This teaches us that we should always be kind and considerate towards children no matter their age or status in society. We should also strive to treat them with respect as they are an important part of our community.
