اخبرنا اخبرنا ابن زهير ، قال: حدثنا احمد بن المقدام ، قال: حدثنا معتمر ، قال: سمعت ابي يحدث، عن قتادة ، عن ابي رافع ، عن ابي هريرة ، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:" لما قضى الله الخلق، كتب في كتاب عنده: غلبت، او قال: سبقت رحمتي غضبى، قال: فهي عنده فوق العرش" ، او كما قال.
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah decided to create the creation, He wrote in a book that is with Him: 'My mercy has prevailed over My wrath.' (The narrator is unsure, perhaps the words are:) 'My mercy has outstripped My wrath.' The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, so this writing is with Allah above the Throne. (The narrator says:) Or perhaps it is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said."
