Abu Hurayra said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, was brought new dates, he said, 'O Allah! Bless
us in our city and in our mudd and sa', blessing upon blessing.' Then he
would give one to the youngest of the children with him."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا، وَيَعْرِفْ حَقَّ كَبِيرِنَا.
'Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported from his grandfather that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who does
not show mercy to our children nor acknowledge the right of our old people
is not one of us."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَدُعِينَا إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَإِذَا حُسَيْنٌ يَلْعَبُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَأَسْرَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَامَ الْقَوْمِ، ثُمَّ بَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ، فَجَعَلَ يَمُرُّ مَرَّةً هَا هُنَا وَمَرَّةً هَا هُنَا، يُضَاحِكُهُ حَتَّى أَخَذَهُ، فَجَعَلَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ فِي ذَقْنِهِ وَالأُخْرَى فِي رَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ اعْتَنَقَهُ فَقَبَّلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: حُسَيْنٌ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ، أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ، سَبِطَانِ مِنَ الأَسْبَاطِ.
Ya'la ibn Murra said, "We went out with the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and we were invited to eat. Husayn was playing
in the road and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, raced
the people and then spread out his arms. The boy began to run this way
and that and the Prophet made him laugh until he caught hold of him. He
put one of his hands under his chin and the other on his head and then
embraced him. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. Allah loves anyone who loves al-Hasan and
al-Husayn. They are two of my distinguished descendants.'"
