Majma al-Zawaid 17610 — Allah is more merciful to His believing

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ: «خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِصَبِيٍّ يَبْكِي، فَقَالَ: يَا عُمَرُ، ضُمَّ الصَّبِيَّ ; فَإِنَّهُ ضَالٌّ . فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّهُ فَأَخَذَتِ ابْنَهَا، فَجَعَلَتْ تَضُمُّهُ إِلَيْهَا، وَتَرْشُفُهُ وَتَبْكِي، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -: أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ رَحِيمَةً بِوَلَدِهَا؟ . فَقَالُوا: نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ، لَلَّهُ أَرْحَمُ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ هَذِهِ بِوَلَدِهَا».
، رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ، وَفِيهِ فَائِدٌ: أَبُو الْوَرْقَاءِ، وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ.
، وَيَأْتِي حَدِيثُ عُمَرَ فِي أَوَاخِرِ كِتَابِ الْبَعْثِ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was going out, and on the way he saw a child who was crying. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Umar! Take hold of this child, for he is lost.' Meanwhile the child's mother came and took the child. She clasped the child to herself and began kissing him while rocking him, and weeping. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Do you think that she is merciful towards her child?' The people replied: 'Yes!' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! Allah Almighty is more merciful to the Muslims than this woman is (merciful) to her child."
At-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Fa'id Abu al-Warqa', who is matruk (abandoned). A hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) will come at the end of the book relating to the Resurrection.
