Abu Hurayra said, "When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought new dates, he said, 'O Allah! Bless us in our city and in our mudd and sa', blessing upon blessing.' Then he would give one to the youngest of the children with him."

Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Anyone who does not show mercy to our children nor acknowledge the right of our old people is not one of us."

Ya'la ibn Murra said, "We went out with the Prophet (ﷺ) and we were invited to eat. Husayn was playing in the road and the Prophet (ﷺ) raced the people and then spread out his arms. The boy began to run this way and that and the Prophet made him laugh until he caught hold of him. He put one of his hands under his chin and the other on his head and then embraced him. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. Allah loves anyone who loves al-Hasan and al-Husayn. They are two of my distinguished descendants.'"

Bukayr reported that he saw 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far kissing Zaynab, the daughter of 'Umar ibn Abi Salama when she was about two years old.

Al-Hasan said, "If you avoid looking at the hair of anyone in your family except your wife or a little girl, then do so."
