Prophetic Traditions
إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ كِتَابًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْخَلْقَ إِنَّ رَحْمَتِي سَبَقَتْ غَضَبِي فَهُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عِنْدَهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ
“Indeed, Allah wrote a book before creating creation: 'My mercy prevails over My wrath,' and it is written with Him above the Throne.”
Al-Mutaali is supremely exalted above His creation, above the Throne—yet His mercy reaches all.
Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه·Sahih al-Bukhari 7554
