Kindness of the Prophet (ﷺ) towards Children

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) took water from a bucket with his mouth and threw it on the face of a five-year-old boy.

Narrated Mahmud bin Rabi'a: When I was a boy of five, I remember, the Prophet took water from a bucket (used for getting water out of a well) with his mouth and threw it on my face.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، قَالَ عَقَلْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ مَجَّةً مَجَّهَا فِي وَجْهِي وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ مِنْ دَلْوٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the kindness of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ towards children. It is narrated by Mahmud bin Rabi'a that when he was five years old, the Prophet ﷺ took water from a bucket with his mouth and threw it on his face. This act shows us how much love and care he had for children. He was not only kind to adults but also to young children like Mahmud bin Rabi'a who were in need of love and attention. The lesson we can learn from this hadith is that we should be kind to all people regardless of their age or status in society. We should show mercy and compassion even to those who are younger than us or less fortunate than us because this is what our beloved prophet ﷺ did during his lifetime.
