اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السُّكَيْنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَمَّامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَابًا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ ، أَوْ كَشَفَ سِتْرًا ، فَإِذَا النَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ وَرَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا رَأَى مِنْ حُسْنِ حَالِهِمْ ، رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَخْلُفَهُ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ بِالَّذِي رَآهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَيُّمَا أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، أَوْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أُصِيبَ بِمُصِيبَةٍ ، فَلْيَتَعَزَّ بِمُصِيبَتِهِ بِي عَنِ الْمُصِيبَةِ الَّتِي تُصِيبُهُ بِغَيْرِي ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَنْ يُصَابَ بِمُصِيبَةٍ بَعْدِي أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مُصِيبَتِي " .
´It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) opened a door that was between him and the people or drew back a curtain and he saw the people praying behind Abu Bakr. He praised Allah for what he saw of their good situation and hoped that Allah succeed him by what he saw in them.* He said: ‘O people, whoever among the people or among the believers is stricken with a calamity, then let him console himself with the loss of me, for no one among my nation will be stricken with any calamity worse than my loss.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was concerned for his Ummah even in the last days of his blessed life. Thus, when he saw them remaining steadfast upon righteousness, he became very pleased.
➋ When patience over a calamity feels difficult, one should reflect that if a loved one or elder has passed away, this is not something new. Whoever has come to this world must depart. When even a great personality like Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), has passed away, then who is there that will remain alive forever?
➌ The meaning of the hadith can also be that when a calamity befalls, a Muslim should remember the calamities and hardships that befell the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and, keeping in view the beautiful example (uswah hasanah) of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), exercise patience. Just as the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) exercised patience at every occasion of difficulty and calamity, and did not adopt the way of panic and wailing over hardships, we too should do the same.
