Sunan Abu Dawud 4807 — Regarding gentleness
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، وَحُمَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ ، وَيُعْطِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ " .
Abdullah bin Mughaffal reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Allah is gentle, likes gentleness, and gives for gentleness what he does not give for harshness.
Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, He is gentle with His servants; His dealings with His servants are characterized by kindness and mercy. He desires ease for them, not hardship, and does not burden them with things beyond their capacity.
