Narrated Abu Hurairah RA, the prophet ﷺ kissed Al-Hasan bin `Ali while Al-Aqra’ bin Habis at-Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, “I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them,” The prophet ﷺ cast a look at him and said:
مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ
“Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully.”
Sahih al-Bukhari (5997)
- Be gentle with your children, And they will be gentle with you. In shaa Allah
