ten children and I have never kissed any one of them.'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) looked at him and said,
"He who
does not show mercy to others will not be shown mercy".

Commentary:
To kiss children with kindness and affection is not only permissible but also a means of attaining
Allah's Mercy.

`Aishah (May Allah bepleased with her) reported: Some bedouins came to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and
asked: "Do you kiss your children?'' He said,
"Yes"
. They then said: "By Allah, we do not kiss them.'' The Prophet
(PBUH) replied,
"I cannot help you if Allah has snatched kindness from your hearts".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Showing kindness and affection to children is a sign of that mercy and compassion with which Allah
endows mankind.

Jarir bin `Abdullah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"He who is not
merciful to people Allah will not be merciful to him.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Kind treatment to Allah's creatures is very much liked by Allah. Even animals and birds are included
in this category. Kind treatment with them makes a person eligible to the Mercy of Allah. Decent behaviour with
people has been specifically mentioned in this Hadith although all creatures are covered by it.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"When one of you
leads the Salat, he should not prolong it because the congregation includes those who are feeble, ill or old".
One
version adds:
"those who have to attend to work'') While offering prayers alone, you may pray as long as you like".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
According to this Hadith, the Imam - one who leads the congregational prayer, is enjoined to shorten
the prayer in consideration of those who pray behind him. Shortening of prayer here means that the Surah of the
Qur'an recited by him in the prayer should not be very long. This does not mean, however, that the postures of Salat,
such as standing, bowing, prostration and sitting should not be done properly, as it is taken to mean by Muslims in
general. Although it is a Sunnah about which the Noble Prophet (PBUH) is reported to have said, "Pray as you see
me praying.'' Thus, it is essential to perform Salat properly.

`Aishah (May Allah bepleased with her) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) would sometimes abstain from
doing something he wished to do, lest others should follow him and it might become obligatory upon them.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith indicates the affection which the Prophet (PBUH) had for his followers. In spite of his
fervent desire, he would sometime deliberately leave voluntary prayer lest it became obligatory upon the Muslims.
