Sunan Ibn Majah 4293 (Book 37, Hadith 194) #33649
The Mercy of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah has one hundred degrees of mercy, of which He has shared one between all of creation, and kept back ninety-nine for His slaves on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "Allah has one hundred (degrees of) mercy, of which He has shared one between all of creation, by virtue of which you show mercy and compassion towards one another and the wild animals show compassion towards their young. And He has kept back ninety-nine (degrees of) mercy by virtue of which He will show mercy to His slaves on the Day of Resurrection".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ قَسَمَ مِنْهَا رَحْمَةً بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْخَلاَئِقِ فَبِهَا يَتَرَاحَمُونَ وَبِهَا يَتَعَاطَفُونَ وَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوَحْشُ عَلَى أَوْلاَدِهَا وَأَخَّرَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ رَحْمَةً يَرْحَمُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the mercy that Allah has bestowed upon us. It is said that Allah has a hundred degrees of mercy, and He shared one degree with all creation. This means that we should show compassion and kindness to each other as well as to animals. The remaining ninety-nine degrees are reserved for His slaves on the Day of Judgment when they will be judged by Him. We should always remember this mercy and strive to do good deeds in order to receive it on the Day of Judgment.
