Explanation: العربية
يُبَيِّنُ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنَّ الذي لا يرحمُ الناسَ لا يرحمُه اللهُ عز وجل، فرحمةُ العبد للخَلق من أكبر الأسباب التي تُنالُ بها رحمةُ الله تعالى.
- الرحمة مطلوبة لسائر المخلوقات، لكن خص الناس بالذكر اهتمامًا بهم.
- الله هو الرحيم ويرحم عبادَه الرُّحَماء، فالجزاء من جنس العمل.
- الرحمة بالناس تشمل إيصال الخير لهم ودفع الشر عنهم ومعاملتهم بالحسنى.
