`Aishah (May Allah bepleased with her) reported: Some bedouins came to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and asked: "Do you kiss your children?" He said, "Yes". They then said: "By Allah, we do not kiss them." The Prophet (PBUH) replied, "I cannot help you if Allah has snatched kindness from your hearts".[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Showing kindness and affection to children is a sign of that mercy and compassion with which Allah endows mankind. |
