Μωάμεθ (P.B.U.H): Συμπεριφορά προς τα παιδιά

All praises and thanks be to Allah, the creator of mankind, jinns and all that exists. The greatest thing that God had offered humanity is that he provided them messengers chosen from among the best of their kind.

We are now discussing about The Prophet’s (Peace Be Upon Him) Characters and Features.

Μωάμεθ (PBUH) was always very kind to children. Amr ibn (ΕΞΩ) Said quoted Anas(ΕΞΩ) όπως λέει, “I have never seen anyone act more kindly towards children than God’s Messenger (PBUH). His son Ibrahim was being suckled in the neighbourhood of Medinah. Αυτός (PBUH) would go, accompanied by us, and enter the house which was full of smoke, the child’s foster-father being a blacksmith. Αυτός (PBUH) would take him and kiss him and then go back.”

It was his practice, whenever he (PBUH) came back from a journey, to let the children, who met him on the way, ride before and behind him and he always greeted them first. One day Khalid bin Said (ΕΞΩ) came to him with his little daughter, Hasna, who was wearing a red dress. Μωάμεθ (PBUH) είπε, “Sana.” She had been born in Abyssinia and in their language, Hasna was called San i, και αυτος (PBUH) called her Sana in that context. Αυτός (PBUH) had a seal of prophethood at his back and it looked like a lump. She began to play with it so Khalid told her off but Muhammad (PBUH) stopped him and let her play.

Anas(ΕΞΩ) είπε, “I never prayed behind an Imam who was more brief or more perfect in his prayer than God’s Messenger (PBUH). If he (PBUH) heard a baby crying, he (PBUH) would shorten the prayer for fear that the mother might be distressed.” Abu Qatada (ΕΞΩ) reported God’s Messenger (ΕΞΩ) όπως λέει, “When I begin the prayer, I intend to make it long, but I hear a baby crying and shorten the prayer, being aware of the Mother’s emotion because of the crying.”

Αυτός (PBUH) used to kiss children and loved them very much. Once he (PBUH) was kissing children when a Bedouin came and said, “You love children very much. I have ten children and I have never kissed one of them.” Μωάμεθ (PBUH) απάντησε, “What can I do if God takes away love from you?”. Jabir bin Samra (ΕΞΩ), one of his companions, reported an incident of his childhood. “Once I offered the prayer with God’s Messenger (PBUH). After the prayer, when he (PBUH) went towards his house, I went with him. We were joined by more boys, and he kissed them all and me too.” When he was entering the town of Medinah, after emigrating from Makkah, some young girls of the Ansar were singing with joy in front of their houses. When he (PBUH) passed by, he (PBUH) είπε, “O girls! You love me.” All said, “Ναί, O God’s Messenger.” Then he (PBUH) είπε, “1 love you also. Yusuf bin Abdullah (ΕΞΩ) said that when he (PBUH) was born his parents took him to God’s Messenger for his blessing; he (PBUH) suggested the name, Γιουσούφ, and put him in his lap. Αυτός (PBUH) patted him on the head and prayed for the Blessings of God for him.’

To sum up, Μωάμεθ (PBUH) was very kind and affectionate to children. Αυτός (PBUH) loved them and always treated them with immense kindness and gentleness.
