Kindness and Mercy Rewarded

SUMMARY: Killing a gecko with kindness and mercy will be rewarded by Allah.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet said: If anyone kills a gecko with the first blow, such and such number of good deeds will be recorded for him, if he kills it with the second blow, such and such number of good deeds will be recorded for him less than the former; and if he kills it with the third blow, such and such number of good deeds will be recorded for him, less than the former.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ وَزَغَةً فِي أَوَّلِ ضَرْبَةٍ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً أَدْنَى مِنَ الأَوَّلِ وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً أَدْنَى مِنَ الثَّانِيَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of showing kindness and mercy even when killing a small creature like a gecko. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that if someone kills a gecko with the first blow, they will be rewarded with good deeds from Allah. If they kill it with the second blow, they will still be rewarded but less than before. And if they kill it with the third blow, their reward will be even less than before. This teaches us to show mercy and kindness in all our actions, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to us. We should always strive to do what is right in order to receive rewards from Allah for our good deeds.
