Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 100
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الرَّحْمَةَ مِئَةَ جُزْءٍ، فَأَمْسَكَ عِنْدَهُ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ، وَأَنْزَلَ فِي الأَرْضِ جُزْءًا وَاحِدًا، فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الْجُزْءِ يَتَرَاحَمُ الْخَلْقُ، حَتَّى تَرْفَعَ الْفَرَسُ حَافِرَهَا عَنْ وَلَدِهَا، خَشْيَةَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ.

Al-Hakam ibn Nafi‘ related to us: Shu‘ayb informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib informed us that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say: ‘Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made mercy one hundred parts. He kept ninety-nine parts with Him and sent one part down to earth. From that one part, creatures show mercy to one another, so much so that a mare lifts her hoof away from her foal for fear of striking it.’
