Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah created one hundred parts of mercy, and He kept ninety-nine parts with Himself and sent down only one part to the earth. It is because of this one part that you see the creation showing mercy to one another, so much so that even a mare lifts its hoof away from its young, fearing that it might harm it.
