اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ: أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُمَيْمَةَ ابْنَةِ زَيْنَبَ وَنَفْسُهَا تَقَعْقَعُ، كَأَنَّهَا فِي شَنٍّ، فَقَالَ: ((لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلِلَّهِ مَا أَعْطَى، وَكُلٌّ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمَّى))، قَالَ: فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَتَبْكِي؟ أَوَلَمْ تَنْهَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّمَا هِيَ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ))
(Second Chain) Sayyida Umaymah bint Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while she was in the throes of death and looked like an old waterskin. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever Allah takes and whatever He gives, all belongs to Him, and everything has an appointed time." As soon as he said this, tears came to the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Are you weeping? Did you not forbid weeping?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is mercy, which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and Allah shows mercy only to those of His servants who are merciful."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … That is, the sound of his labored breathing was like the sound of water sloshing in an old waterskin. (Abdullah Rafiq)
