“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.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 194
