[Machine] The boys were passing by the Prophet ﷺ, and some of them would touch his cheek, while others would touch both of his cheeks. So, when I passed by him, he touched my cheek and said, "The cheek that the Prophet ﷺ touched was more beautiful than the other cheek."  

الطبراني:١٩٠٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ شَيْبَةَ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَيَّارٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَنَا أَبِي عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

كَانَ الصِّبْيَانُ يَمُرُّونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْسَحْ خَدَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْسَحْ خَدَّيْهِ فَمَرَرْتُ بِهِ فَمَسَحَ خَدِّي قَالَ فَكَانَ الْخَدُّ الَّذِي مَسَحَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ مِنَ الْخَدِّ الْآخَرِ

" عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ الصِّبْيَانُ يَمُرُونَ بالنَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَمنْهُم مَنْ يَمْسَحُ خَدَّهُ، وَمِنْهُم مَنْ يَمْسَحُ خَدَّيْهِ، فَمَرَرْتُ بِهِ فَمَسَحَ خَدِّىَ، فَكَان الْخَدُّ الَّذِى مَسَحَهُ النَّبىُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ مِنَ الْخَدِّ الآخَرِ".
