Sahih al-Bukhari 7554 (Book 97, Hadith 179) #7256
The Precedence of Mercy

SUMMARY: Allah's mercy is greater than His anger and this has been written in a book before the creation of the world.

Narrated Abu Hurairah (ra): I heard Allah's Messenger saying: "Before Allah created the creations, He wrote a Book (wherein He has written): "My Mercy has preceded my Anger'. And that is written with Him over the Throne". (see Hadith 3194)
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي غَالِبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ كِتَابًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْخَلْقَ إِنَّ رَحْمَتِي سَبَقَتْ غَضَبِي‏.‏ فَهْوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عِنْدَهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the greatness of Allah's mercy. It tells us that before Allah created anything, He wrote a book in which He wrote that His mercy will always come before His anger. This means that no matter what we do, if we turn to Him and ask for forgiveness, He will forgive us. We should never forget this and always remember to turn to Him when we make mistakes or do something wrong. We should also strive to be merciful ourselves as much as possible because it is one of the qualities that Allah loves most in people.
