(Book 2, Hadith 112) #35196
Kindness and Mercy of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed kindness and mercy to a baby boy by not washing his garment after it urinated on him.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud from Umm Qays ibn Mihsan that she brought a baby boy of hers who was not yet eating food to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he sat it in his arms and it urinated on his garment, so the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called for some water and sprinkled over it but did not wash it.
وَحَدَّثَنِي 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 فِي حَجْرِهِ فَبَالَ عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَاءٍ فَنَضَحَهُ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the kindness and mercy of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is narrated that Umm Qays brought her baby boy who was not yet eating food to the Messenger of Allah. The baby urinated on his garment but instead of washing it off, he sprinkled some water over it. This shows us how merciful and kind he was towards children even in such a situation. He did not want to cause any discomfort or distress to the child by making him feel embarrassed for what happened. This hadith teaches us that we should always be kind and merciful towards children no matter what they do or say as they are innocent beings who need our love and care more than anything else in this world. We should also try our best to make them feel comfortable in every situation so that they can grow up into confident individuals with strong moral values.
