Musnad Abi Ya'la 4242 — an elderly man came to the Prophet ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَرْبِيٌّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ شَيْخٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي حَاجَتِهِ فَأَبْطَئُوا عَنِ الشَّيْخِ أَنْ يُوَسِّعُوا لَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا ، وَيُوَقِّرْ كَبِيرَنَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that an elderly man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on account of some need of his, and the people present were slow to make room for him and open a way for him. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young and does not honour and respect our elders."
