Silsilah as-Sahihah 2440 — Virtue of soft and tender hearts

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu ‘Anbah Khaulani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Indeed, Allah has vessels among the people of the earth. The vessels of your Lord are the hearts of the righteous, and the most beloved of them to Him are those that are the softest and most compassionate.”
