عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ، أَنَّهُ مَاتَ ابْنٌ لَهُ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَزِّيهِ بِابْنِهِ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ، سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ ، فَإِنِّي أَحْمَدُ إِلَيْكَ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ، أَمَّا بَعْدُ : فَأَعْظَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَجْرَ ، وَأَلْهَمَكَ الصَّبْرَ ، وَرَزَقَنَا وَإِيَّاكَ الشُّكْرَ ، فَإِنَّ أَنْفُسَنَا وَأَمْوَالَنَا وَأَهْلَنَا مِنْ مَوَاهِبِ اللَّهِ الْهَنِيئَةِ ، وَعَوَارِيهِ الْمُسْتَوْدَعَةِ ، مَتَّعَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ فِي غِبْطَةٍ وَسُرُورٍ ، وَقَبَضَهُ مِنْكَ بِأَجْرٍ كَثِيرِ الصَّلَاةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ وَالْهُدَى ، إِنِ احْتَسَبْتَهُ فَاصْبِرْ ، وَلَا يُحْبِطُ جَزَعُكَ أَجْرَكَ فَتَنْدَمَ ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْجَزَعَ لَا يَرُدُّ مَيِّتًا وَلَا يَدْفَعُ حُزْنًا ، وَمَا هُوَ نَازِلٌ فَكَانَ قَدْ ، وَالسَّلَامُ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ مُجَاشِعُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that one of his sons passed away, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote him a letter offering condolences over his son. He wrote to him in the letter: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is from Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the Messenger of Allah, to Mu'adh bin Jabal. Peace be upon you. I praise before you Allah, besides whom there is no god. To proceed: May Allah Almighty grant you a great reward, grant you patience, and grant us and you the ability to be grateful. For our souls, our wealth and our families are gifts from Allah Almighty and things lent by Him for a time. Allah Almighty granted you joy and happiness through this child, and then took him back from you with abundant reward, in the form of blessings, mercy and guidance, if you hope for reward over him. So be patient, and let not your lamenting waste your reward, so that you later come to regret it. Know that wailing does not bring back the dead, nor does it remove grief. Whatever is to descend will surely come to pass. Peace be upon you."

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَعَدَ أَصْحَابُهُ حِزَانًا يَبْكُونَ حَوْلَهُ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلٌ صَبِيحٌ فَصِيحٌ فِي إِزَارٍ وَرِدَاءٍ ، أَشْعَرُ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ وَالصَّدْرِ ، فَتَخَطَّى أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَخَذَ بِعِضَادَيِ الْبَابِ ، فَبَكَى عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ ، وَخُلْفًا مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ ، وَعِوَضًا مَنْ كُلِّ مَا فَاتَ ، فَإِلَى اللَّهِ فَأَنِيبُوا ، وَإِلَيْهِ فَارْغَبُوا ، فَإِنَّمَا الْمُصَابُ مَنْ لَمْ يَجْبُرْهُ الثَّوَابُ . فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ : تَعْرِفُونَ الرَّجُلَ ؟ فَنَظَرُوا يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا فَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَحَدًا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : هَذَا الْخَضِرُ أَخُو النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، ضَعَّفَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ .

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, his Companions were sitting around him in grief. Meanwhile a tall man came, whose face was radiant and whose speech was eloquent. He was wearing a waist-wrap and had a sheet over him; his shoulders had much hair, and his chest also had much hair. He stepped over the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and came forward, and stood by the door frame. He wept for a while, then he said: "In Allah Almighty alone is consolation for every calamity; He is the replacement for everyone who perishes, and He grants compensation for everything that is lost. So turn to Allah Almighty, and set your longing on Him, for the truly afflicted one is he who is not granted reward." Those present said: "Do you know this man?" They looked right and left, but saw no one. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This was the brother of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna al-Khidr (peace be upon him)."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Abbad bin Abdus-Samad Abu Ma'mar, whom Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) declared da'if (weak).

وَعَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّجُلَ يَتَعَزَّى بِعَزَاءِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَاعِضُّوهُ وَلَا تَكْنُوا " .

Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you see a man consoling himself with the consolation of the Jahiliyyah, express severity (of disapproval) towards him, and do not speak in allusions."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
