What It Means: Reading in Context
Aisha reports this saying about gentleness. The excerpt quotes its first clause; the second describes the harm of removing gentleness. The source translation uses “kindness”, while the chapter heading identifies the theme as gentleness. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2594a. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
