SahihHR. Bukhari 5997, Muslim 2319

He who does not show mercy to people will not be shown mercy by Allah

مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمِ النَّاسَ لَا يَرْحَمْهُ اللَّهُ

Meaning

Whoever does not show mercy to people, Allah will not show him mercy.

Narrator: Abu Hurairah

Note for parents

The Prophet ﷺ said this to al-Aqra' ibn Habis, who was surprised to see him kissing Hasan. Kissing and hugging children is not weakness — it mirrors the mercy Allah loves.
