Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah has one hundred mercies. Out of these, He has sent down one mercy among the jinn, humans, and animals. Because of this mercy, they show kindness to one another, and because of it, they have compassion for each other. Even wild animals are merciful to their offspring because of it. Allah has kept back ninety-nine mercies, with which He will show mercy to His servants on the Day of Resurrection."
