Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 43, Hadith 446

Abu Hurairah said; Al-Aqra’ b. Habib saw that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) was kissing Husain. He said: I have ten children and I have never kissed any of them. The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: He who does not show tenderness will not be shown tenderness.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ، أَبْصَرَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يُقَبِّلُ حُسَيْنًا فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي عَشْرَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ مَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا بِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 43, Hadith 446

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. Emerging from the vibrant intellectual culture of the 9th century, Sunan Abi Dawud was compiled by Abu Dawud al-Sijistani during a golden age of Islamic scholarship. This period was characterized by a concerted, scholarly effort to journey across the Muslim world, gather narrations, and preserve the authentic teachings of the Prophet for future generations. His work, which became one of the six canonical collections, successfully gathered over 4,800 hadiths covering all aspects of law, worship, and social conduct. The critical methodology he employed in selecting and annotating these narrations secured its enduring status as a highly authoritative and indispensable reference.
