882. Abū Hurairah reported: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once stood up to pray, so we stood up with him. A bedouin said in the prayer: 'O Allāh! Have mercy on me and Muḥammad, and do not have mercy on anyone besides us!' When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said the Taslīm, he said to the bedouin: 'You have restricted something which is vast,' meaning the mercy of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
