Salam Aleikom wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu Ahsana Allah ilaykom Ustadh, My nephew and niece are 8 and 7 years old. Could you point me to some hadith that can show me and them how the prophet ﷺ‎ used to treat the children. Perhaps this could help them to love the prophet ﷺ‎. Jazzak Allah kheir

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

‎He ﷺ‎ would joke with a little boy about his pet bird, saying "O Abu ʿUmayr, what did the little bird do?" (agreed upon). He kissed his grandson al-Ḥasan and said, "Whoever does not show mercy is not shown mercy" (agreed upon). He greeted children with salam when he passed them (agreed upon). He shortened his prayer when he heard a child cry, out of mercy for its mother (al-Bukhārī). Anas served him for ten years and he never once said "uff" to him (agreed upon).
