Allah's Mercy will be shown only to those who are merciful; Show mercy to receive Mercy

tirmidhi:1924Ibn Abū ʿUmar > Sufyān > ʿAmr b. Dīnār > Abū Qābūs > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr

"The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from Who is above the heavens. The womb is named after Ar-Rahman, so whoever connects it, Allah connects him, and whoever severs it, Allah severs him."
