345. Imām al-Sādiq (a.s.) said: “A man once came to the Prophet (s.a.w.) and said: “I have never kissed a child.” When he left, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said: “This is someone who, in my view, is one of the people of Hell.”1

The Boundaries of Love towards Children

“O you who believe! Let not your wealth, or your children, divert you from the remembrance of Allah; and whoever does that, these are the losers.”2

“O you who believe! Surely from your wives and your children there is an enemy to you; therefore beware of them; and if you pardon and forbear and forgive, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”3

346. The Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.) said, while giving advice to ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud: “O Ibn Mas‘ud! Your sympathy to your family and children should not drive you to disobedience [to Allah] and to unlawful things, for Allah the Exalted says in regard to Judgment Day: “The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, ‘Except for him who comes to Allah with a safe heart.”45

347. Sunan al-Tirmidhi, narrating from Ibn ‘Abbās that a person had once asked him about the verse: “O you who believe! Surely from your wives and your children there is an enemy to you; therefore beware of them; …”6
He answered: “There were some people from Mecca who had embraced Islam and they wanted to go to the Prophet (s.a.w.), but their wives and children did not let them leave to visit him (s.a.w.). When they finally came to meet the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.), they saw that people had become knowledgeable in religion and people wanted to punish them, but Allah sent down the verse:
“O you who believe! Surely from your wives and your children there is an enemy to you; therefore beware of them; ….”7

345.الإمام الصادق علیه السلام : جاءَ رَجُلٌ إلَى النَّبِيِّ صلی الله علیه وآله فَقالَ: ما قَبَّلتُ صَبِيّاً قَطُّ. فَلَمّا وَلّى قالَ رَسولُ اللهِ‏ِ صلی الله علیه وآله : هذا رَجُلٌ عِندِي أنَّهُ مِن أهلِ النّارِ.1

نِطاقُ المَحَبَّةِ بِالأَولادِ

(يَـأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لاَ تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَ لاَ أَوْلَـٰـدُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ الله وَ مَن يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْخَـسِرُونَ).2

(يَـأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُمْ وَ أَوْلَـٰـدِكُمْ عَدُوًّا لَّكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ وَ إِن تَعْفُواْ وَ تَصْفَحُواْ وَ تَغْفِرُواْ فَإِنَّ الله غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ).3

346.رسول الله صلی الله علیه وآله ـ في مَوعِظَتِهِ لاِبنِ مَسعودٍ ـ: يَا بنَ مَسعودٍ، لا تَحمِلَنَّكَ الشَّفَقَةُ عَلى أهلِكَ ووُلدِكَ عَلَى الدُّخولِ فِي المَعاصِي وَالحَرامِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ‏َ تَعالى يَقولُ: (يَوْمَ لاَ يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَ لاَ بَنُونَ * إِلّا مَنْ أَتَى الله بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ)4 .5

347.سنن الترمذي عن ابن عبّاس ـ لمّا سَألَهُ رَجُلٌ عَن هذهِ الآيةِ: (يَـأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَ جِكُمْ وَ أَوْلَـدِكُمْ عَدُوًّا لَّكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ) ـ: هؤُلاءِ رِجالٌ أسلَموا مِن أهلِ مَكَّةَ وأرادوا أن يَأتُوا النَّبِيَّ صلی الله علیه وآله ، فَأَبى أزواجُهُم وأولادُهُم أن يَدَعوهُم أن يَأتوا رَسولَ الله‏ صلی الله علیه وآله ، فَلَمّا أتَوا رَسولَ الله‏ صلی الله علیه وآله رَأَوا النّاسَ قَد فَقِهوا فِي الدِّينِ هَمّوا أن يُعاقِبوهُم، فَأنزَلَ اللهُ عزّ وجلّ: (يَـأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَ جِكُمْ وَ أَوْلَـدِكُمْ عَدُوًّا لَّكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ).6
