Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ فَمِنْهَا رَحْمَةٌ يَتَرَاحَمُ بِهَا الْخَلْقُ فَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوُحُوشُ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا وَأَخَّرَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id told us, from Sulayman, from Abu Uthman, from Salman, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: "Allah, Mighty and Sublime, created one hundred parts of mercy. Of these, one part of mercy by which creation shows mercy to one another, by which the wild beasts show tenderness to their young; and He held back ninety-nine until the Day of Resurrection."
