"Some Bedouin people came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Do you kiss your children?' He said: 'Yes'. He said: 'But we, by Allah, never kiss (our children)'. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'What can I do if Allah has taken away mercy from you?'"
قَدِمَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا أَتُقَبِّلُونَ صِبْيَانَكُمْ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَالُوا لَكِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نُقَبِّلُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَمْلِكُ أَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ قَدْ نَزَعَ مِنْكُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ
A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "You (people) kiss the boys! We don't kiss them." The Prophet said, "I cannot put mercy in your heart after Allah has taken it away from it."
جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تُقَبِّلُونَ الصِّبْيَانَ فَمَا نُقَبِّلُهُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوَ أَمْلِكُ لَكَ أَنْ نَزَعَ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ الرَّحْمَةَ
Do you kiss your children? He said: Yes. Thereupon they said: By Allah but we do not kiss our children. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Then what can I do if Allah has deprived you of mercy? Ibn Numair said: (We has deprived) your heart of mercy.
قَدِمَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا أَتُقَبِّلُونَ صِبْيَانَكُمْ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَالُوا لَكِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نُقَبِّلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمْلِكُ إِنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ نَزَعَ مِنْكُمُ الرَّحْمَةَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ الرَّحْمَةَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came across a Bedouin Arab who asked, "O Messenger of Allah, do you show affection to children?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "By Allah, we do not kiss them." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I cannot control that Allah has removed mercy from your heart."
أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُقَبِّلُ الصِّبْيَانَ؟ فَوَاللهِ مَا نُقَبِّلُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَمْلِكُ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ نَزَعَ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ الرَّحْمَةَ

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتُقَبِّلُونَ الصِّبْيَانَ؟ فَمَا نُقَبِّلُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَمَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ أَنْ نَزَعَ اللَّهُ الرَّحْمَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ»
