He who shows no mercy will receive none
Written by Tim Baby Mo
مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمْ لَا يُرْحَمْ
Meaning
Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.

Note for parents
The Prophet ﷺ said this rebuking someone surprised at him kissing his grandchild. Hugs, kisses, and gentleness are acts of worship — not weakness.
