the Fire?’ We answered, ‘By Allah, no.’ He said, ‘Allah is more compassionate to His servants than this woman is to her child.’ Agreed upon.

8/419 — Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah said, ‘When Allah created the creation, He wrote in a Book that is with Him above the Throne: “My mercy overcomes My wrath.”’
Another wording states: ‘has prevailed over My wrath,’ and another: ‘has outstripped My wrath.’ Agreed upon.

9/420 — He also narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah say, ‘Allah made mercy one hundred parts: He kept ninety-nine with Him and sent down to the earth one single part. Because of that part the creatures show mercy to one another, so that even the animal lifts its hoof away from its young for fear of harming it.’

In another narration: ‘Indeed Allah, Exalted is He, has one hundred mercies. He sent down one mercy shared among the jinn, humankind, beasts, and creeping creatures; through it they show affection, through it they are merciful, and through it the wild creature is tender toward its young. Allah has kept back ninety-nine mercies with which He will show mercy to His servants on the Day of Resurrection.’ Agreed upon.

Muslim also transmitted it from Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Allah, Exalted is He, has one hundred mercies. One mercy is shared among creation so that they are merciful to one another, while ninety-nine are reserved for the Day of Resurrection.’
