Among the aesthetic beauties of the Prophetic biography (Seerah)
0:05
is the rooting of mercy.
0:08
It is a tenderness of the soul
0:13
that compels one to drive goodness toward those it reaches.
0:17
This was embodied in the personality of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:24
and was recognized in his interactions,
0:26
witnessed by everyone who dealt with him.
0:30
His religion is mercy,
0:32
his character is mercy,
0:34
and his message is mercy.
0:36
“We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.” (21:107)
0:41
He encouraged and commanded us to practice it, both young and old,
0:45
in both practice and conduct.
0:48
Indeed, he established a great principle
0:51
through which he rooted mercy
0:53
and anticipated its consequences,
0:55
when he said:
0:57
"He who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy."
1:00
The reason for this
1:03
was that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:06
kissed al-Hasan ibn 'Ali,
1:08
while al-Aqra' ibn Habis
1:11
al-Tamimi was sitting with him.
1:13
Al-Aqra' said,
1:15
"I have ten children,
1:18
and I have never kissed any one of them."
1:21
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, looked at him,
1:26
then said,
1:28
"He who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy."
1:31
This is general in its application to all forms of mercy,
1:34
whether toward children, workers,
1:37
women, the poor, or animals.
1:40
So, whoever lacks the quality of mercy,
1:44
his recompense is that Allah will not show him mercy,
1:47
will not open the doors of His blessings to him,
1:50
will not fulfill his needs,
1:53
and will cause those who are harsh toward him to dominate his life.
1:57
The paths of success will be blocked before him,
2:00
and there is no power nor strength except by Allah.
2:04
Peace.
