Sahih Bukhari 7422 – Allah's Mercy Prevailing Over His Wrath
This is an authentic hadith of Bukhari 7422. It goes in conformity with what God has told us about Himself in the Quran. Allah says: قُل لِّمَن مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ قُل لِّلَّهِ ۚ كَتَبَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ ۚ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ Ask them: To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth? Say: To God alone.[14] He has made mercy mandatory on Himself.[15] After gathering all of you, He shall definitely take you to the Day of Judgement about which there is no doubt.[16] Only those who have inflicted themselves with loss do not believe in it. (6: 12) To introduce Himself He chose the attributes of Rehman and Raheem. He is always ready to forgive. He does not make haste in punishing.
