Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4705 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The severest

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ : نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَشَدُّ حَسَرَاتِ بَنِي آدَمَ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ : رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةٌ حَسْنَاءُ تُعْجِبُهُ ، فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ غُلَامًا فَمَاتَتْ ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يَسْتَرْضِعُ لَهُ ، وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي غَزْوٍ ، فَرَأَى الْغَنِيمَةَ فَسَابَقَ أَصْحَابَهُ إِلَيْهَا ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهَا وَقَعَ فَرَسُهُ فَمَاتَ ، فَسُبِقَ إِلَى الْغَنِيمَةِ ، وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ زَرْعٌ وَنَاضِحٌ ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى زَرْعُهُ وَأَعْجَبَهُ ، مَاتَ نَاضِحُهُ ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يَشْتَرِي بِهِ بَعِيرًا ، فَمَاتَ زَرْعُهُ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ إِلَّا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The severest regrets of the children of Adam are in three cases: one, a man who has a very beautiful wife whom he likes very much, then she bears him a son and dies, while he does not have the means to arrange for the child to be nursed (by a wet nurse). The second, a man who is riding a horse in a military expedition; he sees the spoils of war and tries to get ahead of his companions to reach them, but when he comes near them his horse falls and dies, and so others beat him to gathering the spoils. And the third, a man who has his own field and a camel to water it; then when his crop is ready and begins to please him, that camel of his dies, while he cannot afford to buy another camel, and so his field is ruined (for lack of water)."
Only Sa'id bin Bashir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him).
