Brief Explanation
Benefit: Allah the Exalted says: “And We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds.” (Al-Anbiya: 107) {اور ہم نے آپ کو تمام جہان والوں کی طرف رحمت بنا کر بھیجا ہے ۔}
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu reports that it was said: O Messenger of Allah! Will you not supplicate against the polytheists? So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Indeed, I was not sent as one who curses excessively; I was only sent as a mercy.” [مسلم : 2599]
