Once a Sahabi’s son was missing. The Sahabi went looking for his son. 

As he was searching he found a group of children playing and saw his son was amongst them. He saw that Rasoolallah ﷺ, the Beloved of Allah was sitting at a short distance watching the children. 

The Sahabi came into the presence of the Beloved ﷺ and after presenting Salam he asked Ya Rasoolallah ﷺ I have been looking for my son and found him playing here, do I have your permission to take him? 

The Prophet ﷺ replied, Let your son play a little longer. 

The Sahabi took his leave and left. A short while later he came again and found the Beloved of Allah in the same place watching the children play. 

The Sahabi asked for permission to take his son and once again the Prophet ﷺ asked him to let his son carry on playing.

The man left and came back a short while later. Again he asked for permission to take his son and this time the Prophet of Allah ﷺ gave him permission, now you may take your son. As the man was about to approach the children and call his son, Rasulullah ﷺ called him back. 

He returned to the company of Rasulullah ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ said, Take your son but when you call him don’t call him as ‘my son’ call him by his name. The Sahabi was a little inquisitive as to why this instruction was given and he asked Ya Rasulullah, the child is my son and if I did call out to him as ‘my son’ would that be a problem? 

Tears began to fall down the Blessed cheeks of The Mercy to Creation and He replied, 

O my companion, amongst those children there are orphans... if you call out to your child as ‘O my son’ the orphans may feel the loss of their fathers and may be saddened. To avoid this I have requested that you call your son by his name so as not to hurt their feelings! 

The Sahabi was amazed at the intricate level of concern and sensitivity of Rasulullah ﷺ. 

The man took his son, came back to Rasulullah ﷺ to ask leave. 

He then asked Ya Rasulullah ﷺ why are you sitting watching these children, again with tears in his blessed eyes, the Mercy to Creation replied, 

I was watching those children and sat close by so that they know that even though they do not have fathers, they have the Prophet of Allah to care for them. 

*Always be aware of peoples feelings. Take extra care to be kind, compassionate and considerate. *

*Be kind to little ones too. *

Suatu ketika anak Sahabi telah hilang. Sahabi itu pergi mencari anaknya.

Semasa dia mencari dia mendapati sekumpulan kanak-kanak bermain dan melihat anaknya berada di antara mereka. Dia melihat Rasulullah ﷺ, Kekasih Allah sedang duduk tidak jauh memerhatikan anak-anak.

Sahabi itu datang ke hadapan Kekasih ﷺ dan selepas menyampaikan salam dia bertanya kepada Ya Rasoolallah ﷺ Saya telah mencari anak saya dan mendapati dia bermain di sini, adakah saya mendapat izin untuk membawanya?

Rasulullah ﷺ menjawab, Biarkan anakmu bermain sedikit lagi.

Sahabi itu telah minta izin dan pergi. Tidak lama kemudian dia datang lagi dan mendapati Kekasih Allah di tempat yang sama sedang melihat kanak-kanak bermain.

Sahabi meminta izin untuk membawa anaknya dan sekali lagi Rasulullah ﷺ memintanya untuk membiarkan anaknya bermain.

Lelaki itu pergi dan kembali tidak lama kemudian. Sekali lagi dia meminta izin untuk mengambil anaknya dan kali ini Rasulullah ﷺ memberinya izin, sekarang kamu boleh mengambil anakmu. Ketika lelaki itu hendak mendekati anak-anak dan memanggil anaknya, Rasulullah ﷺ memanggilnya kembali.

Dia kembali kepada Rasulullah ﷺ dan Nabi ﷺ bersabda, Ambillah anakmu tetapi apabila kamu memanggilnya jangan panggil dia sebagai ‘anakku’ panggil dia dengan namanya. Sahabi itu sedikit ingin tahu mengapa arahan ini diberikan dan dia bertanya Ya Rasulullah, anak itu adalah anak saya dan jika saya memanggilnya sebagai 'anak saya' adakah itu menjadi masalah?

Air mata mula jatuh di pipi yang diberkati Rahmatil Alamin dan Dia menjawab,

Wahai sahabatku, di antara anak-anak itu ada anak yatim... jika kamu memanggil anakmu sebagai ‘Wahai anakku’ anak-anak yatim itu mungkin akan merasai kehilangan bapa mereka dan mungkin bersedih. Untuk mengelakkan ini saya telah meminta supaya anda memanggil anak anda dengan namanya supaya tidak melukai perasaan mereka!

Sahabi kagum dengan tahap keprihatinan dan kepekaan Rasulullah ﷺ yang rumit.

Lelaki itu membawa anaknya, kembali kepada Rasulullah ﷺ untuk meminta izin.

Dia kemudian bertanya Ya Rasulullah ﷺ mengapa kamu duduk menonton anak-anak ini, sekali lagi dengan air mata di matanya yang diberkati, Rahmat kepada Alamin menjawab,

Saya memerhatikan kanak-kanak itu dan duduk berdekatan supaya mereka tahu bahawa walaupun mereka tidak mempunyai bapa, mereka mempunyai Nabi Allah untuk menjaga mereka.

* Sentiasa ambil tahu perasaan orang. Berhati-hati untuk menjadi baik, belas kasihan dan bertimbang rasa. *

*Berbuat baik kepada anak kecil juga. *
