Allah is gentle, likes gentleness, and gives for gentleness what he does not give for harshness. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4807)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah loves gentleness in all matters."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ»
