´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."
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.
