Q
What lesson can be learned about the scope of divine mercy from this incident?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood up for the prayer and we too stood up along with him. Then a bedouin shouted
while offering prayer. “O Allah! Bestow Your Mercy on me and Muhammad only and do not bestow
it on anybody else along with us.” When the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his prayer with Taslim, he said to
the Bedouin, “You have limited (narrowed) a very vast (thing),” meaning Allah’s Mercy.
