Hadith 17:11
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us, from Simak, from al-Hasan, he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted is Gentle; He loves gentleness, and He gives for it what He does not give for harshness."
حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن سماك عن الحسن قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إن الله تعالى رفيق يحب الرفق ويعطي عليه ما لا يعطي على العنف
