(221) بَابُ الْخُرْقِ
'A'isha said, "I was on a camel that was somewhat intractable andI began to beat it. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, 'You must be compassionate. Whenever there is compassion in something,it adorns it, and whenever it is removed from something it disgraces it."
