Unparalleled clemency

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, reported: The Quraish said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: ”Invoke your Lord to bring forth for us a mountain of gold and we shall believe in you.” He said: “Will you do so?” They said, “Yes”. He invoked (Allah), so Jibreel came to him and said: “Indeed, your Lord conveys His peace and blessings upon you and He says: “If you wish there will be a mountain of gold for them and whoever amongst them disbelieves after that, then I will punish him with a punishment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among all (mankind and Jinn); and if you wish I will open for them the door of repentance and mercy.” He said: ”Rather the door of repentance and mercy.”
