عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُقَبِّلُ الصِّبْيَانَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نُقَبِّلُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((مَا أَمْلِكُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نَزَعَ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ الرَّحْمَةَ))
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a Bedouin came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you kiss children? By Allah, we do not kiss them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah has deprived your heart of mercy, so I can do nothing for you.
