Mu'awiya ibn Qurra reported that his father said, "A man said, 'Messenger of Allah, I was going to slaughter a sheep and then I felt sorry for it (or 'sorry for the sheep I was going to slaughter').' He said twice, 'Since you showed mercy to the sheep, Allah will show mercy to you.'"
قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَأَذْبَحُ الشَّاةَ فَأَرْحَمُهَا أَوْ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْحَمُ الشَّاةَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَهَا قَالَ وَالشَّاةُ إِنْ رَحِمْتَهَا رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ
