589. hadíth

وَ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ مَا بَالُنَا نَجِدُ بِأَوْلاَدِنَا مَا لاَ يَجِدُونَ بِنَا فَقَالَ "لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَسْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ".

Some of the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), why do we feel a stronger affection for our children than they feel for us?" He (saws) replied: "Because they are from you, but you are not from them."
