Spreading kindness in the home

'Aa'ishah (RA) said: "The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
'When Allah (SWT) wills some good towards the people of a household, He introduces kindness among them.'"
(Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/71; Saheeh al-Jaami', 303)


According to another report:
"When Allah loves the people of a household, He introduces kindness among them."
(Reported by Ibn Abi al-Dunya and others; Saheeh al-Jaami', no. 1704)


In other words, they start to be kind to one another. This is one of the means of attaining happiness in the home, for kindness is very beneficial between the spouses, and with the children, and brings results that cannot be achieved through harshness, as the Prophet (SAW) said:


"Allah loves kindness and rewards it in such a way that He does not reward for harshness or for anything else."
(Reported by Muslim, Kitaab al-Birr wa'l-Sillah wa'l-Aadaab, no. 2592)
