4293. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Allâh has one hundred (degrees of) mercy, of which He has shared one between all of creation, by virtue of which you show mercy and compassion towards one another and the wild animals show compassion towards their young. And He has kept back ninety-nine (degrees of) mercy by virtue of which He will show mercy to His slaves on the Day of Resurrection." (Sahih)
4293 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ، قَسَمَ مِنْهَا رَحْمَةً بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْخَلَائِقِ، فَبِهَا يَتَرَاحَمُونَ، وَبِهَا يَتَعَاطَفُونَ، وَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوَحْشُ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا، وَأَخَّرَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ رَحْمَةً، يَرْحَمُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

a. The purpose of mentioning a hundred portions of mercy is to encourage reflection over the abundance of the mercy of Allâh, who has placed the passion of mercy in every creature. Even birds and animals love their offspring so much, that they may endanger themselves to protect them. Therefore, the mercy of the Creator will be so endless that no one can imagine it. b. On the Day of Judgment as the anger and justice of Allâh are experienced, similarly His mercy will also be experienced beyond limits.
