806. ALLAH'S DIVINE MERCY

2523.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : إنّ اللَّهَ تعالى‏ خَلَقَ مِائةَ رَحمَةٍ يَومَ خَلَقَ السماواتِ والأرضَ ، كُلُّ رحمةٍ مِنها طِباقُ ما بينَ السماءِ والأرضِ ، فَأهبَطَ رَحمَةً مِنها إلى الأرضِ فَبِها تَراحَمَ الخَلقُ ، وبها تَعطِفُ الوالِدَةُ على‏ وَلَدِها ، وبها تَشرَبُ الطيرُ والوُحوشُ مِن الماءِ ، وبها تَعِيشُ الخلائقُ .1

2523.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Verily Allah, most High, created one hundred units of mercy on the day He created the heavens and the earth, each unit of which corresponds to all that is between the sky and the earth. of these He descended one unit of mercy to the earth, and by virtue of that one unit, everything in creation shows understanding for one another, the mother is affectionate towards her child, and by virtue of the same unit, the birds and the beasts are able to drink water, and all creatures are able to subsist.' 2

2524.كنز العمّال عن رسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لَن يَدخُلَ الجَنَّةَ أحَدٌ إلّا بِرحمَةِ اللَّهِ . قالوا : ولا أنتَ؟ قالَ : ولا أنا إلّا أن يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ .3

2524.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'No one shall enter Paradise except by intervention of Allah's divine mercy.' His companions asked, 'Not even you?' to which he replied, 'Not even me, unless Allah encompasses me with His mercy.' 4

2525.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لَو تَعلَمُونَ قَدْرَ رحمَةِ اللَّهِ تعالى‏ لَاتَّكَلتُمْ علَيها .5

2525.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'If you knew the worth of Allah's mercy, you would rely solely on that.' 6

2526.الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ عليه السلام : لَيسَ العَجَبُ مِمَّن نَجا كيفَ نَجا ، وأمّا العَجَبُ مِمَّنْ هَلَكَ كَيفَ هَلَكَ مَع سَعَةِ رحمةِ اللَّهِ ؟!7

2526. Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, 'It is no small wonder if man is given salvation [on the Day of Resurrection], rather what is a wonder is how he manages to end up in eternal damnation in spite of Allah's all-encompassing mercy.' 8
