Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ibn 'Abbas said that al-Rahman and al-Rahim are two tender names, one of which is more tender than the other. Is tenderness among the attributes of Allah or His names? And what is your comment?
Answer:
Yes, tenderness in relation to the names of Allah is not like tenderness in relation to the names of created beings. Tenderness means compassion, mercy, and gentleness from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) toward His servants. It is a tenderness befitting Him (Glorified and Exalted is He) in His gentleness, mercy, and kindness toward His servants.
