حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَدِمَ نَاسٌ مِنْ الْأَعْرَابِ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا أَتُقَبِّلُونَ صِبْيَانَکُمْ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَالُوا لَکِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نُقَبِّلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمْلِکُ إِنْ کَانَ اللَّهُ نَزَعَ مِنْکُمْ الرَّحْمَةَ و قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ مِنْ قَلْبِکَ الرَّحْمَةَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6027
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that there came a few desert Arabs to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Do you kiss your children? He said: Yes. Thereupon they said: By Allah but we do not kiss our children. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Then what can I do if Allah has deprived you of mercy? Ibn Numair said: (We has deprived) your heart of mercy
