Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ الْعُقُوبَةِ مَا طَمِعَ بِالْجَنَّةِ أَحَدٌ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْكَافِرُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ الرَّحْمَةِ مَا قَنَطَ مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ أَحَدٌ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ فَوَضَعَ وَاحِدَةً بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ يَتَرَاحَمُونَ بِهَا وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ رَحْمَةً.
English Translation
'Abd al-Rahman told us: Zuhayr told us, from al-'Ala', from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "If the believer knew what punishment there is with Allah, Mighty and Sublime, none would hope for Paradise; and if the disbeliever knew what mercy there is with Allah, none would despair of Paradise. Allah created a hundred parts of mercy and placed one of them among His creation, by which they show mercy to one another, while with Allah remain ninety-nine parts of mercy."
