Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Amr (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger said, “To those who dispense mercy, the Compasionate. Ar.Rahman is merciful. Show mercy to those who are on earth, He who is in the heaven will be merciful to you i. (Rahim) is a branch of (Ar-Rahman). Thus, Allah joins ties with him who keeps it united and severs ties with one who severs it.”
[Bukhari 57]
