Jami at-Tirmidhi 3108 (Book 47, Hadith 160) #28757
Fear of Mercy from Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Jibril (Gabriel) shoving clay into the mouth of Pharaoh out of fear that he would say La Ilaha Illallah and Allah would have mercy upon him.

Narrated Shu'bah: "'Adi bin Thabit and 'Ata bin As-Sa'ib informed me, from Sa'eed bin Jubair, from Ibn 'Abbas - and one of them mentioned that it was from the Prophet - that he mentioned that Jibra'il began shoving clay in the mouth of Fir'awn out of fear that he would say La Ilaha Illallah and Allah would have mercy upon him - or fearing that Allah would have mercy upon him".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، وَعَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ذَكَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ ‏ "‏ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ جَعَلَ يَدُسُّ فِي فِي فِرْعَوْنَ الطِّينَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فَيَرْحَمَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَرْحَمَهُ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the Prophet Muhammad's encounter with Fir'awn. According to the hadith, Jibra'il was afraid that if Fir'awn said "La Ilaha Illallah" then Allah would have mercy on him. Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, Jibra'il shoved clay into his mouth so he could not speak these words. This story teaches us that we should always be mindful of our actions and words because even if we do something wrong or bad in our lives, Allah still has the power to forgive us and show us mercy if we repent for our sins. We should also remember that no matter how powerful someone may seem or how much authority they may have over others, they are still subject to the will of Allah and can be forgiven by Him at any time.
