Мухаммед (P.B.U.H): Поведінка по відношенню до дітей

All praises and thanks be to Allah, the creator of mankind, jinns and all that exists. The greatest thing that God had offered humanity is that he provided them messengers chosen from among the best of their kind.

We are now discussing about The Prophet’s (Мир Йому) Characters and Features.

Мухаммед (PBUH) was always very kind to children. Amr ibn (OUT) Said quoted Anas(OUT) як кажуть, “I have never seen anyone act more kindly towards children than God’s Messenger (PBUH). His son Ibrahim was being suckled in the neighbourhood of Medinah. Він (PBUH) would go, accompanied by us, and enter the house which was full of smoke, the child’s foster-father being a blacksmith. Він (PBUH) would take him and kiss him and then go back.”

It was his practice, whenever he (PBUH) came back from a journey, to let the children, who met him on the way, ride before and behind him and he always greeted them first. One day Khalid bin Said (OUT) came to him with his little daughter, Hasna, who was wearing a red dress. Мухаммед (PBUH) сказав, “Sana.” She had been born in Abyssinia and in their language, Hasna was called San i, і він (PBUH) called her Sana in that context. Він (PBUH) had a seal of prophethood at his back and it looked like a lump. She began to play with it so Khalid told her off but Muhammad (PBUH) stopped him and let her play.

Anas(OUT) сказав, “I never prayed behind an Imam who was more brief or more perfect in his prayer than God’s Messenger (PBUH). If he (PBUH) heard a baby crying, he (PBUH) would shorten the prayer for fear that the mother might be distressed.” Abu Qatada (OUT) reported God’s Messenger (OUT) як кажуть, “When I begin the prayer, I intend to make it long, but I hear a baby crying and shorten the prayer, being aware of the Mother’s emotion because of the crying.”

Він (PBUH) used to kiss children and loved them very much. Once he (PBUH) was kissing children when a Bedouin came and said, “You love children very much. I have ten children and I have never kissed one of them.” Мухаммед (PBUH) відповів, “What can I do if God takes away love from you?”. Jabir bin Samra (OUT), one of his companions, reported an incident of his childhood. “Once I offered the prayer with God’s Messenger (PBUH). After the prayer, when he (PBUH) went towards his house, I went with him. We were joined by more boys, and he kissed them all and me too.” When he was entering the town of Medinah, after emigrating from Makkah, some young girls of the Ansar were singing with joy in front of their houses. When he (PBUH) passed by, he (PBUH) сказав, “O girls! You love me.” All said, “Так, O God’s Messenger.” Потім він (PBUH) сказав, “1 love you also. Yusuf bin Abdullah (OUT) said that when he (PBUH) was born his parents took him to God’s Messenger for his blessing; he (PBUH) suggested the name, Юсуф, and put him in his lap. Він (PBUH) patted him on the head and prayed for the Blessings of God for him.’

To sum up, Мухаммед (PBUH) was very kind and affectionate to children. Він (PBUH) loved them and always treated them with immense kindness and gentleness.
