Hadith on Mercy: Sinful believers eventually taken out of Hellfire

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “One will be taken out of the Hellfire who said, ‘There is no God but Allah,’ and he had good in his heart like the weight of a grain of barley. Then, one will be taken out of Hellfire who said, ‘There is no God but Allah,’ and he had good in his heart like the weight of a grain of wheat. Then, one will be taken out of Hellfire who said, ‘there is no God but Allah,’ and he had good in his heart like the weight of a speck.

عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ شَعِيرَةً ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ بُرَّةً ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ ذَرَّةً
