Hadith 9556
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا شَكَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَسْوَةَ قَلْبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ((إِنْ أَرَدْتَ تَلْيِينَ قَلْبِكَ فَأَطْعِمِ الْمِسْكِينَ وَامْسَحْ رَأْسَ الْيَتِيمِ))
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the hardness of his heart. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: If you want to soften your heart, then feed the poor and stroke the head of the orphan.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This hadith demands from us that we become soft-hearted, compassionate, and well-wishing towards others. However, it is possible that a person is naturally hard-hearted. In this blessed hadith, a remedy for hardness of heart has been mentioned: that one should arrange food and drink for those deprived of worldly means, and console those who are deprived of worldly support.
