وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها

قالت: قدم ناس من الأعراب على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقالوا: أتقبلون صبيانكم؟ فقال: «نعم«قالوا: لكنا والله ما نقبل! فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أو أملك إن كان الله نزع من قلوبكم الرحمة؟»

Some bedouins came to Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and asked: “Do you kiss your children?” He said, “Yes”. They then said: “By Allah, we do not kiss them.” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied, “I cannot help you if Allah has snatched kindness from your hearts”.

What it means

Some Bedouins came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and (during their visit) they asked him: "Do you kiss your children?" The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) replied: 'Yes.' Bedouins are normally harsh and rigorous, so they said: "We never kiss our children." So the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: If Allah has removed mercy from your hearts, I would not be able to put it in them.
