حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ حَفْصٍ الْأُبُلِّيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ , عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ , وَيُعْطِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:` "Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness, and He grants reward for it that He does not grant for harshness."
Brief Explanation
1؎: Gentleness means that one should speak softly and with kindness and compassion to one’s servants, attendants, children, and friends, and should not become angry with them—just as was the state of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, for Anas radi Allahu anhu served him for ten years, yet the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never spoke a harsh word to him, nor glared at him, nor rebuked him.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Gentleness in mutual dealings is greatly beloved to Allah; therefore, He grants worldly benefits and reward in the Hereafter for it.
➋ Gentleness and compromise in matters of religion and in the enforcement of legal punishments (hudud) is a sign of weakness of faith. In such situations, remaining firm upon the religion is a cause for elevation of ranks.
