Respect for Young and Old

SUMMARY: Showing mercy to the young and respecting the elderly is a sign of being a true believer.

'Amr bin Shu'aib (May Allah be pleased with him)on the authority of his father who heard it from his father reported: Messenger of Allah said: "He is not one of us who shows no mercy to younger ones and does not acknowledge the honour due to our elders". At- Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud, who both classified it as Hadith Sahih.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about showing mercy to younger ones and acknowledging the honour due to our elders. It is important for believers to show kindness and respect towards both young people as well as those who are older than us. We should be patient with children when they make mistakes or do not understand something right away; we should also show respect towards our elders by listening to their advice and speaking kindly with them. By doing this we demonstrate that we are true believers in Allah's teachings.
