Ask for God's mercy in faith

This hadith speaks about the mercy of Allah, which is vast and limitless. It was narrated by Abu Huraira that the Prophet Muhammad stood up for prayer with his companions when a bedouin shouted while offering prayer, asking for mercy from Allah only for himself and the Prophet. After finishing his prayer, the Prophet said to him that he had limited something very vast - meaning Allah’s mercy. This hadith teaches us that we should not limit or restrict God’s mercy to ourselves or others; rather it is available to all who seek it in faith. We must remember that no matter how much we ask from God, His mercy will always be greater than our requests.
