عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «جَعَلَ اللهُ الرَّحمةَ في مِائَةِ جُزْءٍ، فَأَمْسَكَ عِنْدَهُ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ جُزْءًا، وَأَنْزَلَ فِي الأرْضِ جُزْءًا وَاحِدًا، فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الجُزْءِ يَتَرَاحَمُ الخَلْقُ، حَتَّى تَرْفَعَ الفَرَسُ حَافِرَهَا عَنْ وَلَدِهَا؛ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ» متفق عليه
Abu Hurayrah narrated that: heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying:
1. Allah created mercy in one hundred parts 2. and He retained with Him ninety-nine parts, and He has sent down upon the earth one part, 3. and it is because of this one part that there is mutual love among the creation so much so that the animal lifts up its hoof from its young one, fearing that it might harm it.
Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī embraced Islam in the year in which the Battle of Khaybar took place, i.e. Year 7 of the Hijri calendar. He was the Prophet’s companion who narrated the largest number of his hadiths, because he committed himself to remain close to the Prophet. He was keen to learn the Prophet’s hadiths and he remained for a long time in Madinah. He died in Year 58 AH, 678 CE.
