حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ کُلُّ رَحْمَةٍ طِبَاقَ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَائِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا فِي الْأَرْضِ رَحْمَةً فَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوَالِدَةُ عَلَی وَلَدِهَا وَالْوَحْشُ وَالطَّيْرُ بَعْضُهَا عَلَی بَعْضٍ فَإِذَا کَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَکْمَلَهَا بِهَذِهِ الرَّحْمَةِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6977
Salman reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Verily, Allah created, on the same very day when He created the heavens and the earth, one hundred parts of mercy. Every part of mercy is coextensive with the space between the heavens. and the earth and He out of this mercy endowed one part to the earth and it is because of this that the mother shows affection to her child and even the beasts and birds show kindness to one another and when there would be the Day of Resurrection, Allah would make full (use of Mercy).
