The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.)
was very kind to children and loved them very much .One day, he placed
his two grandchildren, Hasan and Husayn, on his lap and began kissing
and cuddling them. A man who was passing by saw what the Prophet (S.A.)
was doing, and became very surprised. “I have ten children,” he said
.And I have not kissed even one of them. The Prophet heard what this
hard-hearted man said and became very annoyed. “I do not think this man
will attain paradise , “ he said.
Our Holy Prophet loved
children. He used to carry them on his shoulders. The children would
become very happy and laugh. The Prophet, too, would become happy at the
pure happiness and laughter of the children and a smile would appear on
his face. Our Holy Prophet used to give his salam to children and would
tell his companions:
“I give my salam to children
and respect them, and Muslims should follow my behaviour and always be
warm and loving with children.”
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.)
used to speak about children – boys and girls – and say:
“O Muslims, O father and
mother, O my followers, be kind and compassionate towards children, for
someone who is not kind to children has no place amongst the Muslims.”
Our Holy Prophet was kind to
children and became happy at their pure and innocent laughter.* |
