Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has one hundred mercies. Out of these, He has sent down one mercy among humans, jinn, and insects; because of it, they love one another and show mercy to each other. Even wild animals are kind to their young because of it. And Allah has deferred ninety-nine mercies until the Day of Resurrection; with them, He will show mercy to His servants.
