🌷[Mercy Towards Children]:
al-Imaam as-S’adee, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
Showing mercy towards children, being gentle towards them, and doing things to make them happy are all forms of mercy.
Just as not paying them any attention and a lack of gentleness are forms of roughness, sternness, and cruelty.
An example of this is when some rough bedouins saw the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions kissing their small children, one of the bedouins said:
I have ten children; I have not kissed any of them.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
Am I able to do anything for you, if Allah has removed mercy from your heart?! [1]/[2]
