عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ يَقُولُ ((ارْحَمُوا تُرْحَمُوا وَاغْفِرُوا يَغْفِرِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَيْلٌ لِأَقْمَاعِ الْقَوْلِ وَيْلٌ لِلْمُصِرِّينَ الَّذِينَ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ))
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the pulpit: Show mercy, mercy will be shown to you; forgive, Allah Almighty will forgive you. Woe to those who turn a deaf ear, and woe also to those who persist—those who knowingly persist in their evil deeds.
