It is stated in the hadith: (Allah made mercy a hundred parts, so He retained ninety-nine parts with Him and sent down one part to the earth)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... Allah retained ninety-nine parts with Him; is it the mercy by which He shows mercy to the servants, or does He have an attribute of mercy that differs from it?

The Shaykh : How does it differ from it?

The questioner : I mean!

The Shaykh : It is the mercy by which the servants show mercy to one another.

Another questioner : O brothers, the path—may Allah be pleased with you—we greet the shaykh only.

The Shaykh : Welcome.

Another questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : You are welcome.

Another questioner : How is our Shaykh doing?

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.

Another questioner : How is your health?

Another questioner : May you be well.

The Shaykh : Pardon me.

Another questioner : If Allah wills, I will speak with you on the phone to schedule a visit; I have a trust with you.

The Shaykh : Welcome.

Another questioner : Now, peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

Another questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Welcome, how are you?

Another questioner : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : Why are you cold?

Another questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, welcome.

Another questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The questioner : May I ask the second question, our shaykh?

The questioner : Allah created a hundred mercies, so He placed mercy among the servants and retained ninety-nine with Him.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Is it the very mercy by which Allah shows us mercy? I mean, does Allah show mercy to the servants with these ninety-nine mercies, or does it differ, or is there a specific mercy belonging to Him; because this mercy is created?

The Shaykh : He created their causes; the mercy is not created; the mercy is an attribute of Allah.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : But He created the causes.

The questioner : So the created thing is the causes, and not... even the one by which we show mercy to one another is the causes?

The Shaykh : It is this.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.

Another questioner : Another question, if you please, our shaykh.

The Shaykh : Please, my brother.
...

The Shaykh : Yes, but there is a charity, and it is not forbidden, but the most complete for the Messenger is not the most complete for others, of course.
Peace be upon you.
