Sahih al-Bukhari 6002 (Book 78, Hadith 33) #5762
Performing Tahnik with Compassion

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) took a child in his lap and performed Tahnik, which is the process of putting a date's juice in the mouth of a newborn. The child urinated on him, so he asked for water and poured it over the place of the urine.

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet took a child in his lap for Tahnik (ie he chewed a date in his mouth and put its juice in the mouth of the child). The child urinated on him, so he asked for water and poured it over the place of the urine.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ وَضَعَ صَبِيًّا فِي حِجْرِهِ يُحَنِّكُهُ، فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ، فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأَتْبَعَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident where Prophet Muhammad PBUH showed compassion towards a newborn baby by performing tahnik. Tahnik is an Islamic tradition that involves putting some chewed date juice into the mouth of a newborn baby as it is believed to be beneficial for their health. In this incident, when the baby urinated on him, he asked for water and poured it over the place of urine instead of getting angry or scolding them. This shows us how compassionate and kind Prophet Muhammad PBUH was towards children even when they did something wrong or unexpected. He taught us to be patient with children and not to get angry at them but rather show kindness even if they make mistakes or do something wrong.
