Chapter on the Virtue of Children
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 3|Chapter 49
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَحِبُّوا اَلصِّبْيَانَ وَ اِرْحَمُوهُمْ وَ إِذَا وَعَدْتُمُوهُمْ فَفُوا لَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَرَوْنَ إِلاَّ أَنَّكُمْ تَرْزُقُونَهُمْ".
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "Love the children and have mercy on them. When you promise them something, fulfill it for them, for they only perceive that you are the ones who provide for them."
