“I have not been sent as the invoker of curse, but I have been sent as mercy.” (Muslim, Birr wa Sila, 87) "Verily My Mercy overcomes My Anger." (Buhari, Tevhid, 22) He states that “My mercy has passed My rage.” and forgives people by force of this mercy. He (swt) wants people to be merciful and behave mercifully.
