was dear to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم amongst his blessed wives (Ummahatul Momineen) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was dear to him amongst his friends. Therefore, there is no contradiction in this Ahadees.

Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has further stated: Why would the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم not smell them? They were the flowers of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and flowers are definitely smelled. Holding them close to his blessed heart was to love them affectionately. Therefore, it has become obvious that smelling young children, loving them and cuddling them are all acts of the Sunnah of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Encouragement of Hasanayn Karimayn

Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has narrated that once Hasanayn Karimayn were wrestling with each other in front of the Beloved Rasool        صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was saying to Sayyiduna Imam Hasan رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ: Hasan! Hold Husayn. Sayyiduna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah   رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا said: I humbly said, Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! You are encouraging Hasan, though he is elder. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: On the other side, there is [Sayyiduna] Jibra`eel-e-Ameen who is encouraging Husayn by saying the same.

اُن دو کا صدقہ جن کو کہا میرے پھُول ہیں

کیجے رضاؔ کو حَشر میں خَنداں مِثالِ گل

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
