Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Numayr narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, saying: ʿAbd al-Malik narrated to us, from ʿAtaʾ, from Abu Hurayra, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Verily, Allah has one hundred mercies. He sent down from them a single mercy among the jinn, mankind, beasts, and crawling creatures. Through it they show compassion to one another, through it they show mercy to one another, and through it the wild beast shows affection toward its offspring. And Allah has withheld ninety-nine mercies, with which He will show mercy to His servants on the Day of Resurrection."
