حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِائَةُ رَحْمَةٍ وَإِنَّهُ قَسَمَ رَحْمَةً وَاحِدَةً بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَوَسِعَتْهُمْ إِلَى آجَالِهِمْ وَذَخَرَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ رَحْمَةً لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ وَاللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَابِضٌ تِلْكَ الرَّحْمَةَ الَّتِي قَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى التِّسْعَةِ وَالتِّسْعِينَ فَيُكَمِّلُهَا مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ وَخِلَاسٌ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ
Hasan Basri says: It has reached me that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah Almighty has one hundred mercies. He has distributed one mercy among the people of the earth, and it will remain with them until their deaths, and He has reserved ninety-nine mercies for His friends. And the mercy that Allah Almighty has distributed among the people of the earth, on the Day of Resurrection, He will take it back and combine it with the ninety-nine, thus completing one hundred. Muhammad bin Sirin and Khallas have narrated this hadith as marfu’ from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him.
Hadith 10192
عَنْ جُنْدُبٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ ثُمَّ عَقَلَهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى رَاحِلَتَهُ فَأَطْلَقَ عِقَالَهَا ثُمَّ رَكِبَهَا ثُمَّ نَادَى اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلَا تُشْرِكْ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا أَحَدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَقُولُونَ هَذَا أَضَلُّ أَمْ بَعِيرُهُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ لَقَدْ حَظَرْتَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ رَحْمَةً وَاحِدَةً يَتَعَاطَفُ بِهَا الْخَلَائِقُ جِنُّهَا وَإِنْسُهَا وَبَهَائِمُهَا وَعِنْدَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ أَتَقُولُونَ هُوَ أَضَلُّ أَمْ بَعِيرُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jundub Bajli (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came, made his camel sit down, tied its knee, and then performed prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, the Bedouin came to his mount, untied its rope, mounted it, and said: O Allah! Have mercy on me and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and do not include anyone else in Your mercy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), upon hearing this supplication, said: Would you say that he is more misguided or his camel? Did you people not hear what he said? The people said: Yes, indeed, we heard it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have made it too narrow; Allah’s mercy is vast. Indeed, Allah has created one hundred mercies; out of them, He has sent down one mercy, and because of it, all creatures—including jinn, humans, and animals—show love to one another. Ninety-nine mercies are reserved with Him. Now, would you say that he himself is more misguided or his camel?
Hadith 10193
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلَّهِ مِائَةُ رَحْمَةٍ أَنْزَلَ مِنْهَا رَحْمَةً وَاحِدَةً بَيْنَ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ وَالْهَوَامِّ فِيهَا يَتَعَاطَفُونَ وَبِهَا يَتَرَاحَمُونَ وَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوَحْشُ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا وَأَخَّرَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ يَرْحَمُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ
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.
Hadith 10194
عَنْ سَلْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ فَمِنْهَا رَحْمَةٌ يَتَرَاحَمُ بِهَا الْخَلْقُ فِيهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوُحُوشُ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا وَأَخَّرَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty has created one hundred mercies. The effect of one mercy is that the creatures love one another; wild animals show affection to their offspring because of this mercy, and He has deferred ninety-nine mercies until the Day of Resurrection.
Hadith 10195
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْعُقُوبَةِ مَا طَمَعَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحَدٌ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْكَافِرُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ مَا قَنَطَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَحَدٌ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ فَوَضَعَ رَحْمَةً وَاحِدَةً بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ يَتَرَاحَمُونَ بِهَا وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ رَحْمَةً
Syedna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If a believer were to know of Allah Almighty’s punishment, no one would hope for Paradise, and if a disbeliever were to know of Allah Almighty’s mercy, no one would despair of Paradise. Allah Almighty has created a total of one hundred mercies; out of these, He has sent down one mercy among His creation, and because of it, they are merciful to one another, and ninety-nine mercies remain with Allah Almighty.
