Hadith on Family: The Prophet is most merciful to his dependents

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was the most merciful of people to his dependents. He had his son suckled in part of Madina, and the husband of his wet-nurse was a blacksmith. We used to go to him and the house would be full of smoke from the bellows. He would kiss the child and take him in his lap.

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْحَمَ النَّاسِ بِالْعِيَالِ وَكَانَ لَهُ ابْنٌ مُسْتَرْضَعٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ ظِئْرُهُ قَيْنًا وَكُنَّا نَأْتِيهِ وَقَدْ دَخَنَ الْبَيْتُ بِإِذْخِرٍ فَيُقَبِّلُهُ وَيَشُمُّهُ
