The Shaykh : We are now studying Chapter 168, which is the chapter on "giving fruit to the youngest of the children present"
We should note the precision of the Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) in his chapter headings and titles in his book. We have previously covered Chapter 163, "The virtue of the elder", followed by "Honoring the elder", then "The elder begins the conversation and questioning", then "If the elder does not speak, may the younger speak?", and the last chapter of the previous lesson was "Giving the elders the seat of honor". This series of chapters illustrates practical etiquette with the distinguished and the elders. Conversely, he lists chapters clarifying how one should treat the young, showing them courtesy and gentleness. The first chapter he establishes in this regard is titled "Giving fruit," meaning fresh fruit, to the youngest of the children present.
