It is narrated from Qarah that he said: A man said to the Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), "O Messenger of Allah! When I slaughter a goat, I feel compassion for it." Or he said, "I feel compassion if I slaughter a goat." The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said twice, "If you show mercy to the goat, Allah will show mercy to you."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the truthful, the believed, Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), saying: "Mercy is only taken away from the wretched."
