Question

Is this Hadith authentic?

“Some Bedouin people came to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and asked: “Do you kiss your children?” He (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Yes”. They said: “But we, by Allah, never kiss [our children]’. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “What can I do if Allah has taken away mercy from you?”

 

Answer

Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyidah ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha). Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has also recorded the Hadith with slight variation in the wording.

Sayyidah ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) reported that some Bedouins once came to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and asked, “Do you kiss your children?” They replied, “Yes.” The Bedouins remarked, “By Allah, we do not kiss our children.” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) responded, “What can I do if Allah has removed mercy from you?”

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2317 and Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 5998)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
