عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَمَّا مَاتَ حَضَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، قَالَتْ: فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ! إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ بُكَاءَ عُمَرَ مِنْ بُكَاءِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَنَا فِي حُجْرَتِي، وَكَانُوا كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {رُحْمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ}
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Sayyiduna Saad bin Muadh (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came there. The Lady says: By the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! I could distinctly recognize the crying voices of Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), even though I was in my chamber. The Companions were among themselves just as Allah Almighty has said about them: {رُحْمَآئُ بَیْنَہُمْ} (Surah Al-Fath: 29) that is: they were merciful among themselves.
