The Importance of Kindness in Parenting

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that kindness is an important part of parenting and should not be neglected.

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Some bedouins came to Messenger of Allah and asked: "Do you kiss your children?" He said, "Yes". They then said: "By Allah, we do not kiss them". The Prophet replied, "I cannot help you if Allah has snatched kindness from your hearts". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏ قدم ناس من الأعراب على رسول الله ، فقالوا ‏:‏ أتقبلون صبيانكم‏؟‏ فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏نعم‏"‏ قالوا‏:‏ لكنا والله ما نقبل ‏!‏ فقال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏"‏أو أملك إن كان الله نزع من قلوبكم الرحمة‏؟‏‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
