Chapter: It Is Permissible To Say: O My Son To Someone Other Than One's Son, And It Is Recommended To Speak Kindly
Anas b Malik reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) addressed me: O My Son.
Mughira b. Shu'ba reported that none else had asked more questions from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about the Dajjal than I, but he simply said in a slight mood): O, myson, why are you worried because of him? He will not harm you. I said: The people think that he would have with him rivers of water and mountains of bread, whereupon he said: He would be more insignificant in the sight of Allah than all these things (belonging to him).
This hadith has been reported on the authority of Ismail, with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.
