Hadiths on Compassion and Mercy

The following are two hadiths that i came across that i very much enjoyed. I hope that you like them too!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Prophet (pbuh) reached such heights of mercy that once, when he and his Companions stopped in some place, a bird appeared above his head, as if she was seeking his help and complaining to him of the wrongdoing of a man who had taken her egg. The Prophet (pbuh) said:

"Which of you has distressed the bird by taking her egg?" A man said, "O' Messenger of Allah, I have taken it." The Prophet (pbuh) replied: "Put it back, out of mercy to her." (Bukhari: Al-Adab al-Mufrad).

"Have compassion on those who are on earth so that the One Who is in heaven will have mercy on you" (At-Tabaraani; its men are rijaal as-saheeh).
