Hadith 17:8
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Waki' narrated to us, from Thawr, from Khalid ibn Ma'dan, he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Indeed, Allah is Gentle; He loves gentleness, and He gives for it, and He assists with it in a way that He does not assist with violence."
حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا وكيع عن ثور عن خالد بن معدان قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إن الله رفيق يحب الرفق ويعطي عليه ويعين عليه ما لا يعين على العنف
