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.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The essence of Allah Ta’ala is characterized by mercy and forgiveness to the highest and most perfect degree. However, the person who does not deal with Allah Ta’ala’s creation with these two attributes—mercy and forgiveness—has no special connection with these two attributes of Allah Ta’ala either.
