حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ ".
Narrated Jarir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who is not merciful to others, will not be treated mercifully.
This verse is relevant because it confirms that mercy has always been a divinely approved virtue. Islam echoes this by encouraging kindness and empathy. By connecting mercy in the Bible to similar Islamic teachings, Muslims illustrate that Islam’s moral framework continues, rather than departs from, the oldest religious principles.
