Prophet of Allah, (PBUH) played with them
Umm Khaalid bint Khaalid (a woman Companion) narrated:
“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was brought some clothes, amongst them was a woolen striped black garment. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Whom do you think we should dress this garment with?” The people kept silent whereupon he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Bring Umm Khaalid to me.” So they brought me to him and he dressed me with it with his own hands, and then he looked at the striped garment and pointed to me and said: “O Umm Khaalid, this is Sana, O Umm Khaalid, this is Sana.” Sana means good (or nice) in Abyssinian.”1
Umm Khaalid bint Khaalid was with her parents when they migrated to Abyssinia, and that is why he joked with her in Abyssinian.
Anas ibn Maalik (a Companion) narrated:
“The Messenger of Allah, sal- lallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to play around with Zaynab bint Umm Salamah (a woman Companion) and say: “O Zaynoob, O Zaynoob.” (saying her name in a playful manner) many times.”2
Mahmood ibn Ar-Rabee’ (a Companion) narrated:
“I remember that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, splashed some water on my face from his mouth when I was five years of age which he took from a bucket.”3
He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, did so as a way to play with him.
Anas ibn Maalik narrated:
“The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to joke with us; he would call out to my young brother: “O Abu ‘Umayr! [a playful nickname], what happened to An-Nughayr [a bird that he used to keep as a pet]?””4
Anas ibn Maalik narrated:
“The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to play around with me and call me: “O you with two ears.””5
