صحیح مسلم · Hadith 663

A'isha, the wife of the Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Babies were brought to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and he blessed them, and after having chewed (something, e. g. dates or any other sweet thing) he rubbed there with their soft palates. A baby was brought to him and he passed water over him (over his garment), so he asked water to be brought and sprinkled it, but he did not wash it.
