"Qadhi Iyadh in his “As Shifa” says:
Abu Bakr ibn Tahir explained the verse "We have not sent you except as a mercy to all the worlds." 21:107 as meaning Allah endowed Prophet Muhammad, Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, with mercy so that his very being was mercy and all his qualities and attributes were a mercy to all creation. When a person is touched by any portion of his mercy he is saved in both worlds from every hateful matter and reaches everything that is loved. He further explained that the Prophet's life and death were a mercy because the Prophet, Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, said, "When Allah decrees mercy for a nation He takes its Prophet to Him before them, and causes him to be the one to go ahead in order to prepare the way for them."
As-Samarkandi further elaborated "as a mercy to all the worlds" saying it refers to both mankind and jinn, and that it has also been explained as being for all of creation. For believers he is indeed a mercy as he is their guide. As for the hypocrites he was also a mercy to them because of his granting their security by not killing them rather a fine was imposed. When it comes to those who did not believe he was also merciful by deferring their punishment. Ibn Abbas' commented, "He is a mercy to both believers and unbelievers. In the case of the unbeliever they are saved from the punishment that came upon other communities who belied their Prophet."
