Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَشَرِيكٌ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا كَانَ الرِّفْقُ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا عُزِلَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, he said: Isra'il and Sharik narrated to us, from al-Miqdam ibn Shurayh, from his father, from Aisha, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Gentleness is never present in anything except that it adorns it, and it is never withdrawn from anything except that it disgraces it."
