Do we say that one who does not accept his children commits a sin because of the hadith?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others). إنما يرحم الله من عباده الرحماء
Sahih al-Bukhari 7448
Do we say ... Do we say that he commits a sin?

The Shaykh : No, he does not commit a sin, but he is deprived. And his saying:
Only the merciful are shown mercy إنما يرحم الرحماء
means that showing mercy to creation is among the causes of Allah's mercy, and the meaning is not that He does not show mercy except to the merciful.
