Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a similar hadith of the Prophet.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever is deprived of gentleness is deprived of goodness.

Miqdam bin Shuraih narrates from his father, who says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about desert life. She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to these sand dunes. Once, when he intended to live in the desert, he sent me a she-camel from the camels of charity, which had not yet been ridden, and said: Aisha! Fear Allah and be gentle, because whatever gentleness is found in, it adorns it, and whatever gentleness is taken away from, it makes it defective.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty intends goodness and prosperity for the people of a household, He grants them the ability to be gentle.

It is also narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Whoever deals gently with my Ummah, be gentle with him, and whoever is harsh upon my Ummah, be harsh upon him.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some people who were standing in one place, sitting on their animals and mounts. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: Ride these animals while they are healthy, and leave them in a state of health and soundness, and do not make them chairs for talking in the roads and markets (i.e., do not sit on them unnecessarily). For how many mounts are there that are better than their riders and remember Allah more than them.

Sayyiduna Sawadah bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him (for something). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered some she-camels for me and said to me: When you reach your home, tell them to give good food to the young ones born in the spring, and also tell them to trim their nails so that they do not cause the udders of the cattle to bleed while milking.

Sayyiduna Dhirar bin Azwar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We presented a milch she-camel to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift. In another narration, it is stated: Some members of my family sent me with milch she-camels to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to milk them, so I milked them. When I tried, with effort, to extract all the milk, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not do it like this; rather, leave the milk that causes (more) milk to be produced (in the udders).

(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by him while he was milking (an animal), so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Leave (in the udders) the milk that causes more milk (to be produced).

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once went to the camels of charity in the wilderness and gave a camel to all his wives except me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! You have given a camel to everyone except me? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a tough camel, which had not yet been ridden. I began to beat it, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! Be gentle, because gentleness adorns whatever it is in, and when gentleness is removed from something, it makes it defective.
