ALLAH : The most merciful

[* إسلامي عزّي *]

The Book of Repentance

Chapter: The Vastaess Of Allah's Mercy, Which Prevails Over His Wrath



Umar b. Khattab reported that there were brought some prisoners to Allah's Messenger (pbuh) amongst whom there was also a woman, who was searching (for someone) and when she found a child amongst the prisoners, she took hold of it, pressed it against her chest and provided it suck. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said:

Do you think this woman would ever afford to throw her child in the Fire? We said: By Allah, so far as it lies in her power, she would never throw the child in Fire. ' Thereupon Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: Allah is more kind to His servants than this woman is to her child.
