Sahih Muslim 2753c (Book 50, Hadith 25) #14044
The Mercy of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah created one hundred parts of mercy and endowed one part to the earth, which is why mothers show affection to their children and even animals show kindness to each other. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will make full use of His mercy.

Salman reported that Allah's Messenger said: Verily, Allah created, on the same very day when He created the heavens and the earth, one hundred parts of mercy. Every part of mercy is coextensive with the space between the heavens. and the earth and He out of this mercy endowed one part to the earth and it is because of this that the mother shows affection to her child and even the beasts and birds show kindness to one another and when there would be the Day of Resurrection, Allah would make full (use of Mercy).
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ كُلُّ رَحْمَةٍ طِبَاقَ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ فَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا فِي الأَرْضِ رَحْمَةً فَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوَالِدَةُ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا وَالْوَحْشُ وَالطَّيْرُ بَعْضُهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْمَلَهَا بِهَذِهِ الرَّحْمَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the mercy that Allah has created for us. It is said that on the same day when He created the heavens and earth, He also created one hundred parts of mercy. Every part was as vast as between heaven and earth, so much so that it was enough for everyone on this planet. This is why we see mothers showing affection towards their children and even animals being kind to each other. On the Day of Resurrection, all this mercy will be used by Allah in its entirety. We should remember this hadith whenever we feel like there isn't enough love or kindness in our lives because it reminds us that there is always more than enough if we look hard enough for it!
