Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) saying, Allah divided Mercy into one-hundred parts and He kept its ninety-nine parts with Him and sent down its one part on the earth, and because of that, its one single part, His creations are Merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it."
[ Sahih Al Bukhari: book 73, hadith 29 ]
This is one of my favorite hadith; it is so incredible that words couldn't possibly describe it!
Have you ever come across a
very kind and forgiving person and thought of them with such high level of
admiration?
Ever noticed how even the animals are loving and caring
towards their offspring, how even the most ferocious predators can be compassionate
towards their young ones?
Just imagine if we have been
sent just ONE part (i.e. assuming that we have actually acquired the whole one part)
among ourselves... And Allah S.W.T. has the rest 99 parts; can we even begin to
value and assess the level of MERCY the almighty owns? Not even close…
surely he is the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful!
