ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ بَعْضِ تَعَطُّفِ الْوَحْشِ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا لِلْجُزْءِ الْوَاحِدِ مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Allah created mercy in one hundred parts and He retained with Him ninety-nine parts, and He has sent down upon the earth one part, and it is because of this one part that there is mutual love among the creation so much so that the animal lifts up its hoof from its young one, fearing that it might harm it. (Using translation from Muslim 2752a)  

ابن حبّان:٦١٤٨أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «جَعَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الرَّحْمَةَ مِائَةَ جُزْءٍ فَأَمْسَكَ عِنْدَهُ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ وَأَنْزَلَ فِي الْأَرْضِ جُزْءًا وَاحِدًا فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الْجُزْءِ يَتَرَاحَمُ الْخَلَائِقُ حَتَّى تَرْفَعَ الدَّابَّةُ حَافِرَهَا عَنْ وَلَدِهَا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ»

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, Allah divided Mercy into one hundred parts. He kept ninety nine parts with Him and sent down one part to the earth, and because of that, its one single part, His Creations are merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it."

"جَعَلَ اللَّه الرحمةَ مائةَ جُزْءٍ، فأَمسكَ عنده تسعةً وتسعين جُزْءًا -وأَنزَلَ في الأَرضِ جُزْءًا واحدًا، فمن ذلك الجُزءِ يتراحَمُ الخلقُ، حتى ترفَعَ الفرسُ حافِرَها عن ولدِها خَشية أنْ تصيبَه".
