Compassion of the Prophet (S.A.W) towards
children
Whilst the Messenger (S.A.W) was leading the people in prayer,
al-­‐Husayn came and climbed on his shoulders whilst he was
prostrating. He remained in prostration for such a long time that
the people thought that something had happened. When he
finished his prayer they said: You remained in prostration for so
long, O Messenger of Allah, that we thought that something had
happened. He said: “This son of mine climbed on me and rode on
my back, and I did not want to make him hurry until he had had
enough.”
May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of
Allah, whom Allah made a Mercy to the Worlds.
It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (R.A) said: I have never seen
anyone who was more compassionate towards children than the
Messenger of Allaah (S.A.W). Ibraaheem was sent to be nursed in
the suburbs of Madeenah. He [the Prophet (S.A.W)] used to go,
and we would go with him, and he would enter the house, and he
would hold him and kiss him, then he would come back.

‘Amr said: When Ibraaheem died, the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W)
said: “Ibraaheem is my son and he has died in infancy. He has two
foster-­‐mothers who will complete his suckling in Paradise.”
[Narrated by Muslim]
Another example of the Prophet’s mercy and compassion
towards children was that he would not make the prayer long if
he heard a child crying, out of compassion towards the children
and towards their mothers. In al-­‐Saheehayn it is narrated from
Anas (R.A) that the Prophet (S.A.W) said: “I start to pray,
intending to make it lengthy, then I hear the crying of a child, so I
shorten my prayer because of what I know of the distress caused
to his mother by his crying.”
The Prophet (S.A.W) was merciful towards children and enjoined
others to be merciful to them too. It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah
(May Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (S.A.W) kissed
al-­‐Hasan and al-­‐Husayn, the two sons of ‘Ali (R.A), when al-­‐Aqra‘
ibn Haabis al-­‐Tameemi was with him. al-­‐Aqra‘ said: I have ten
(children) and I have never kissed one of them. The Messenger
(S.A.W) looked at him then he said: “The one who does not show
mercy will not be shown mercy.” [Narrated by al-­‐Bukhaari and
Muslim]
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her)
said: A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allaah (S.A.W) and
said: You kiss children but we do not. The Messenger of Allaah
(S.A.W) said: “What can I do for you when Allah has removed
mercy from your heart?”
When a child encounters mercy and compassion from his
parents, this compassion will be instilled in his heart when he
grows up, if he grows up with good characteristics and a good
attitude. The opposite is also true: the child who encounters
anger and bad temper from his parents will grow up unbalanced,
hating the people around him. Do not ask your child to be
friendly and kind to his siblings when he is learning from you
