Re: ~H.A.D.I.T.H~ of the Day
The Prophet (S) urged people to be merciful and compassionate. He said,
“Be merciful to others, Allah will be Merciful to you, and forgive, Allah will forgive you” Related by Ahmad.4
Another incident related that when the Prophet (S) was kissing his grandson Al-Hassan, a Bedouin man named Al-Aqra’a ibnu Haabiss said that he had ten children and he never kissed anyone of them. Upon hearing this Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said:
“Whoever does not show mercy to others, Mercy won’t cover him” (agreed upon) Ahmad added: “and whoever does not forgive, Allah won’t forgive him”5
The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) also said:
“The merciful ones deserve the Mercy of the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on earth so that the One in Heaven – Allah - will cover you with His Mercy” Reported by Ahmad, Abu Daawud and at-Tirmidhi. The latter said it is good, authentic.6
