​Compassion

Be compassionate towards the destitute.

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  يُنادِي مُنادٍ في النارِ : يا حَنّانُ يا مَنّانُ نَجِّني مِنَ النارِ ، فَيَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ مَلَكاً فَيُخرِجُهُ حتّى‏ يَقِفَ بينَ يَدَيهِ ، فيقولُ اللَّهُ عزّوجلّ : هل رَحِمتَ عُصفوراً . كنز العمّال : 5992 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'One of the inmates of the Fire will call out: O Affectionate One, O Liberal Giver, save me from the Fire. So Allah will command one of His angels to take him out that he may come and stand before Him, and Allah will ask him, 'Were you ever compassionate towards a sparrow?' Kanz al-Ummal, no. 5992
