"يَا عَائِشَةُ: عَلَيْكِ بِتَقْوَى الله وَالرِّفْقِ، فَإِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِى شَئٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا نُزعَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا شَانَهُ".  

[حم] أحمد [د] أبو داود وابن أبى الدنيا في ذم الغضب [حب] ابن حبّان والخرائطى في مكارم الأخلاق عن عائشة

Kindness is not to be found in anything but that it adds to its beauty and it is not withdrawn from anything but it makes it defective.

[Machine] Aisha rode a camel and it was difficult for her, so she started complaining. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Be gentle, for verily, gentleness is not in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it tarnishes it."  

أحمد:٢٥٣٨٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِىءٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ

رَكِبَتْ عَائِشَةُ بَعِيرًا فَكَانَ مِنْهُ صُعُوبَةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تُرَدِّدُهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا يُنْزَعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ
