"The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from Who is above the heavens. The womb is named after Ar-Rahman, so whoever connects it, Allah connects him, and whoever severs it, Allah severs him."
Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: My mercy excels My wrath.
“Allah
has
one hundred (degrees of) mercy, of which He has shared one between
all of creation, by virtue of which you show mercy and compassion
towards one another and the wild animals show compassion towards
their
young. And He has kept back ninety-nine (degrees of) mercy by
virtue
of which He will show mercy to His slaves on the Day of
Resurrection.”
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, Verily Allah created Mercy. The day He created it, He made it into one
hundred parts. He withheld with Him ninety-nine parts, and sent its one part to all His creatures. Had
the non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of Allah, he would not lose hope of
entering Paradise, and had the believer known of all the punishment which is present with Allah, he
would not consider himself safe from the Hell-Fire."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When Allah had finished His creation, He wrote over his Throne: 'My Mercy
preceded My Anger.'
