Musnad Ahmad 792 (Book 5, Hadith 224) #34450
Fairness and Justice in Dealing with Children

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught us to be fair and just in our dealings, even with children.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah entered upon me when I was sleeping on the mattress. Al-Hasan or Al-Husain asked for a drink, so the Prophet went to a young sheep and milked it, then Al-Hasan came to him and the Prophet told him to wait. Fatimah said: O Messenger of Allah , it is as if he is the dearer of the two to you? He said: "No, but he asked for a drink first". Then he said: 'You and I and these two and this one who is sleeping will be in the same place on the Day of Resurrection".
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَزْرَقِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمَنَامَةِ فَاسْتَسْقَى الْحَسَنُ أَوْ الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى شَاةٍ لَنَا بِكْرٍ فَحَلَبَهَا فَدَرَّتْ فَجَاءَهُ الْحَسَنُ فَنَحَّاهُ النَّبِيُّ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَأَنَّهُ أَحَبُّهُمَا إِلَيْكَ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ اسْتَسْقَى قَبْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي وَإِيَّاكِ وَهَذَيْنِ وَهَذَا الرَّاقِدَ فِي مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of fairness and justice when dealing with children. It was narrated by 'Ali ibn Abi Talib RA that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH entered his house while he was sleeping on a mattress, when Al-Hasan or Al-Husain asked for a drink, the Prophet PBUH went to a young sheep and milked it. Fatimah then asked if one child was dearer than the other to which he replied no but that one had asked for a drink first. He then said that all five of them would be together on the Day of Resurrection. This hadith teaches us that we should always be fair and just in our dealings, even with children as Allah SWT will judge us based on how we treated others during our lifetime. We should also remember that all five people mentioned in this hadith will be together again on the Day of Judgement so it is important to treat each other well now so we can meet again happily later inshaAllah!
