Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى
الله عنه:
I heard Allâh’s
Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, “Verily,
Allâh created mercy. The day He created it, He made it into one hundred parts.
He withheld with Him ninety-nine parts, and sent its one part to all His creatures. Had a
disbeliever known of all the mercy which is in the Hands of Allâh, he would not
have lost hope of entering Paradise, and had a believer known of all the
punishment which is present with Allâh, he would not have considered himself
safe from the Hell-fire.”
