Jundub reported: A bedouin came, dismounted his camel, and tied it, then he prayed behind the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Afterwards, he called out, “O Allah, have mercy upon me and Muhammad and do not share Your mercy with anyone else!” The Prophet said, “Do you say he is more astray or is his camel? Did you not hear what he said?” They said, “Of course.” The Prophet said, “The mercy of Allah before you is vast. Verily, Allah created one hundred portions of mercy and He sent down a single portion, by which the creation is compassionate to one another, its jinn, its people, and its animals. He has ninety-nine portions left. So do you say he is more astray or is his camel?”

عَنْ جُنْدُبٍ قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ ثُمَّ عَقَلَهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ نَادَى اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلَا تُشْرِكْ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا أَحَدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَقُولُونَ هَذَا أَضَلُّ أَمْ بَعِيرُهُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ لَقَدْ حَظَرْتَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَاسِعَةٌ إِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ رَحْمَةً وَاحِدَةً يَتَعَاطَفُ بِهَا الْخَلَائِقُ جِنُّهَا وَإِنْسُهَا وَبَهَائِمُهَا وَعِنْدَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ أَتَقُولُونَ هُوَ أَضَلُّ أَمْ بَعِيرُهُ
