اُردوEn
وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنُ وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ .
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that (he said): "The eyes shed tears and the heart is grieved."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَيْشٌ هُوَ ابْنُ حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , قَال : " دَخَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي سَيْفٍ الْقَيْنِ ، وَكَانَ ظِئْرًا لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَشَمَّهُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ ، فَجَعَلَتْ عَيْنَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَذْرِفَانِ , فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : وَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَقَالَ : يَا ابْنَ عَوْفٍ إِنَّهَا رَحْمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهَا بِأُخْرَى ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ الْعَيْنَ تَدْمَعُ وَالْقَلْبَ يَحْزَنُ وَلَا نَقُولُ إِلَّا مَا يَرْضَى رَبُّنَا وَإِنَّا بِفِرَاقِكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَحْزُونُونَ " ، رَوَاهُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ المُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Anas bin Malik: We went with Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) to the blacksmith Abu Saif, and he was the husband of the wet-nurse of Ibrahim (the son of the Prophet). Allah's Apostle took Ibrahim and kissed him and smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif's house and at that time Ibrahim was in his last breaths, and the eyes of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) started shedding tears. `Abdur Rahman bin `Auf said, "O Allah's Apostle, even you are weeping!" He said, "O Ibn `Auf, this is mercy." Then he wept more and said, "The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say except what pleases our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation."

Hadith Commentary:
Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah wishes to clarify that if tears flow from the eyes in this manner, the heart is grieved, and no word of Allah’s displeasure is uttered by the tongue, then such weeping is not impatience; rather, these tears are a mercy. It is also established that addressing the deceased with words of affection and speaking words of goodness regarding them is permissible.
This son of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was born from Mariyah al-Qibtiyyah radi Allahu anha, and by the Divine Will, he passed away in infancy while still nursing.
Radi Allahu anhu wa ardah.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Abu Saif's name was Bara bin Aws Al-Ansari.
His wife, Umm Burdah Khawlah bint Mundhir, breastfed Ibrahim radi Allahu anhu.
He passed away on the 10th of Rabi' al-Awwal, in the 10th year of Hijrah, while his birth was in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, 8th year of Hijrah. Thus, he lived for one and a half years.
The tears of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam at his death were due to compassion and mercy, and absolutely not based on impatience or panic.
(2)
From this, it is understood that there is no harm in merely weeping, as long as it is not accompanied by wailing. Indeed, in one narration, this is clarified: I have been forbidden from two voices—
One is the voice raised with singing, amusement, and music, and the other is wailing, face-scratching, and garment-tearing at the time of calamity.
As for being tearful at the time of calamity, this is a mercy from Allah.
Whoever does not show mercy to others in such circumstances, mercy will not be shown to him.
(Fath al-Bari: 3/222)
The narration of Musa bin Isma'il Tabudh has been transmitted by Imam Bayhaqi rahimahullah in his book Dala'il al-Nubuwwah with a connected chain, but there is a slight difference in its wording.

Benefits and Issues:
It is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not possess authority (of his own).
Rather, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was a completely powerless servant in the court of Allah, content with Allah’s decree, and a Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
This beautiful example of his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is worthy of being followed by every Muslim.
In this, there is both a natural expression of grief and a reflection of submission and contentment with the decision of the Lord.
