he was merciful not only to his fellow muslims but his enemies too, after the victory in the battle of hattin, he offered his enemey king iced water to drink and didnt torture him in anyway, when he reconquered Jerusalem, he didn't kill the citizen like the crusaders did, he instead allowed the the christians to stay in jerusalem and allowed them to follow their religion. he also requested a peace treaty to Richard iii and he failed to recapture jerusalem
