Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and with him was a child. He would embrace his child, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you feel mercy towards him?" He replied: "Yes." The Prophet said: "As much as you show mercy to him, Allah shows even more mercy to you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy."
