Show mercy to receive Mercy
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kissed al-Hasan b. Ali while al-Aqra‘ b. Habis al-Tamimi was sitting with him. al-Aqra‘ said, “I have ten children and I have not kissed any of them.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at him and then said, “Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.”
قَبَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَعِنْدَهُ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ جَالِسًا. فَقَالَ الأَقْرَعُ: إِنَّ لِي عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ مَا قَبَّلْتُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا! فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ».
