The Rewards of Kindness

SUMMARY: Allah rewards kindness more than harshness.

It was narrated that 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah is Kind and loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that He does not reward for harshness'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، قَالَ أَبِي سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي خَلِيفَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of being kind and gentle. It was narrated by 'Ali bin Abi Talib, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. The Prophet Muhammad said that Allah is kind and loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that He does not reward for harshness. This means that if we are kind to others, then Allah will reward us more than if we were to be harsh or unkind to them. Being kind can mean many things such as being patient with others, helping those in need, speaking kindly to people even when they are wrong or disagreeing with us, and showing compassion towards those who are suffering. These acts of kindness will be rewarded by Allah in ways that cannot be achieved through harshness or unkind behavior.
