Reported from Ibn ’Abbaas (radi Allahu ‘anhu), in marfoo’ form, that Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu ‘alyhi wasallam) said: ❝ Be gentle, and gentleness shall be rendered to you.❞ (Saheeh--As-Saheehah--1456) Explaining it, al-Manawi said in al-Faid, “Deal with Allah’s creation who are [all] dependent on Him and are His slaves with gentleness and ease, and their Lord will render (do) the same to you in this world and the Hereafter.” :) (Al-Manawi in Faid al-Qadir, vol. 1, p. 512)
