What It Means: Reading in Context
In this hadith qudsi, the Prophet reports words Allah wrote concerning Himself when He created creation. The first-person words refer to Allah. This entry quotes that statement of mercy from the longer narration; it is a hadith, not a verse of the Qur’an. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 7404. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
REFLECTION · EDITORIAL
