Hearts in humble submission..
Allah Almighty describes His Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) as being kind, saying:
{There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Hard to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and is kind and merciful to the believers}
[Surat at - Tawbah: 128]
That means he is extremely kind and merciful towards the believers. Indeed, he is more merciful to them than their own parents.
That is why his right takes precedence over the rights of all people, and it is incumbent upon them to believe in him and respect and revere him.
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) would spend the whole night in prayer repeating one single verse:
{If You should punish them -indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them -indeed it is You Who are the All-Mighty, the All - Wise}
[Surat al-Mā’idah: 118]
Then, Allah Almighty, the All-Kind Lord, informed him that He would make him pleased with regard to his Ummah.
The believer should show kindness to himself and follow the paths of salvation and avoid those of ruin and perdition. And he should do this with other people as well.
Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “If a person treats others generously, Allah treats him generously and graciously. Indeed, recompense is of the same type of the action.”
My Lord, You see my condition and know my need and weakness.
And You hear my secret talk and innermost thoughts.
My Lord, make me taste Your pardon on a Day
when no children or wealth will be of any avail.
O Allah, the All-Kind, we implore You to admit us into Your Paradise and save us from Your Hellfire.
