2624 - (ق) عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها قَالَتْ: جاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم فَقَالَ: تُقَبِّلُونَ الصِّبْيَانَ؟ فَمَا نُقَبِّلُهُمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: (أَوَ أَمْلِكُ لَكَ أَنْ نَزَعَ الله مِنْ قَلْبِكَ الرَّحْمَةَ) .
‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: Some Bedouins visited the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and they said: "Do you kiss your children?" He said: 'Yes.' They said: "By Allah we do not kiss our children." Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then what can I do if Allah has removed mercy from your hearts?"
