Sahih al-Bukhari 5236 (Book 67, Hadith 169) #5015
Treating Young Girls with Respect

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how a young girl should be treated when she is eager to enjoy amusement.

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet was screening me with his Rida' (garment covering the upper part of the body) while I was looking at the Ethiopians who were playing in the courtyard of the mosque. (I continued watching) till I was satisfied. So you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not reached the age of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated in this respect.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، عَنْ عِيسَى، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ، وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّذِي أَسْأَمُ، فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللَّهْوِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about the importance of treating young girls with respect. It was narrated by Aisha, who was a wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In this hadith, it is mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ was screening her with his Rida' while she was looking at Ethiopians playing in the courtyard of the mosque. This shows us that even though she wanted to watch them play, he still respected her and made sure that she was properly covered up while doing so. The lesson we can learn from this is that we should always treat young girls with respect and make sure they are properly covered up when they are out in public or engaging in activities such as watching people play games or sports. We should also ensure that they have proper guidance and supervision when engaging in these activities so as to protect their innocence and modesty.
