Sahih al-Bukhari 6703 (Book 83, Hadith 80) #6447
Compassion and Mercy in Leadership

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ showed mercy and compassion by cutting off the hair-rope nose-ring of a person being led by another person, and instead ordered the man to lead him by the hand.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: While performing the Tawaf around the Ka'ba, the Prophet passed by a person leading another person by a hair-rope nose-ring in his nose. The Prophet cut the hair-rope nose-ring off with his hand and ordered the man to lead him by the hand.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ الأَحْوَلُ، أَنَّ طَاوُسًا، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ مَرَّ وَهْوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ بِإِنْسَانٍ يَقُودُ إِنْسَانًا بِخِزَامَةٍ فِي أَنْفِهِ، فَقَطَعَهَا النَّبِيُّ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقُودَهُ بِيَدِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about showing compassion and mercy when leading others. It was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas that while performing Tawaf around Ka'ba, the Prophet saw a man leading another person with a hair-rope nose-ring in his nose. Instead of leaving it as it is, he showed mercy and compassion towards them both by cutting off the rope with his own hands, then ordering the man to lead him only with his hand. This hadith teaches us that when we are in positions of leadership or authority over others, we should always show kindness and mercy towards those under our care. We should not be harsh or cruel but instead use our power to help those who need it most. We should also remember that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life.
