Narrated 'Aisha: A boy was brought to the Prophet to do Tahnik for him, but the boy urinated on him, whereupon the Prophet had water poured on the place of urine.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ بِصَبِيٍّ يُحَنِّكُهُ، فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَتْبَعَهُ الْمَاءَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) exemplary behavior when he was performing a ritual known as Tahnik on a baby boy. During this ritual, the baby urinated on him, yet instead of getting angry or scolding the child, he simply had water poured over the place of urine. This shows us that even in difficult situations we should remain patient and compassionate towards others. We can learn from this that no matter what happens to us in life we should always strive to be kind and understanding towards those around us. It also teaches us that it is important to take care of our children and show them love and respect at all times.
