عن عائشة رضي الله عنها زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يا عائشة إن الله رفيق يحب الرفق ويعطي على الرفق ما لا يعطي على العنف وما لا يعطي على ما سواه (صحيح مسلم #2593)

It has been narrated from Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), the respected wife of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “O ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha)! Allah Ta‘ala is most compassionate, and He grants for compassion and kindness that which He does not grant for harshness, and that which He does not grant for any other action besides compassion and kindness.”
