Sunan Ibn Majah 4297 (Book 37, Hadith 198) #33653
The Mercy of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah is the most merciful and will not punish those who are obedient and believe in Him.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his campaigns. He passed by some people and said: 'Who are these people?’ They said: 'We are Muslims.’ There was a woman putting wood in her oven, and a son of hers was with her. When the flames got higher, she moved him away. She came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Are you the Messenger of Allah?’ He said: 'Yes.’ She said: 'May my father and mother be ransomed for you. Is not Allah the Most Merciful of those who show mercy?’ He said: 'Yes indeed.’ She said: 'Is not Allah more Merciful than a mother to her child?’ He said: 'Yes indeed.’ She said: 'A mother would not throw her child into the fire.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lowered his head and wept. Then he looked up at her and said: 'Allah does not punish any of His slaves except those who are defiant and rebellious, who rebel against Allah and refuse to say: La ilaha illallah.’"
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ فِي بَعْضِ غَزَوَاتِهِ فَمَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ فَقَالَ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ ‏.‏ وَامْرَأَةٌ تَحْصِبُ تَنُّورَهَا وَمَعَهَا ابْنٌ لَهَا فَإِذَا ارْتَفَعَ وَهَجُ التَّنُّورِ تَنَحَّتْ بِهِ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ـ ﷺ ـ فَقَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَرْحَمِ الرَّاحِمِينَ قَالَ ‏"‏ بَلَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ أَوَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَرْحَمَ بِعِبَادِهِ مِنَ الأُمِّ بِوَلَدِهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ بَلَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ الأُمَّ لاَ تُلْقِي وَلَدَهَا فِي النَّارِ ‏.‏ فَأَكَبَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ يَبْكِي ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُعَذِّبُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ إِلاَّ الْمَارِدَ الْمُتَمَرِّدَ الَّذِي يَتَمَرَّدُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَقُولَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the mercy of Allah, which is greater than that of a mother for her child. It was narrated by Ibn 'Umar that he was with the Prophet Muhammad on one of his campaigns when they passed by some people. When asked who they were, they replied that they were Muslims. There was a woman putting wood in her oven, and her son was with her. When the flames got higher, she moved him away out of fear for his safety. She then came to the Prophet Muhammad and asked if he was indeed the Messenger of Allah, to which he replied yes. She then asked if Allah wasn't more merciful than a mother to her child, to which he again replied yes before lowering his head and weeping at this realization. He then looked up at her and said that only those who are defiant or rebellious against Allah will be punished by Him; those who believe in Him will not be punished as long as they remain obedient believers in His name - La ilaha illallah - there is no god but God alone!
