It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty is Gentle and loves gentleness, and He grants for gentleness what He does not grant for harshness."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Simak except Abu al-Ahwas, and al-Hasan bin Isa al-Harbi is alone in narrating it."
