Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Alqamah bin Waqas that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq, and Hazrat Umar were present with Hazrat Saad bin Muadh. By the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I could recognize that this is the sound of Abu Bakr’s weeping, this is Umar’s, and I was in my chamber. She says: They were just as Allah has said { رُحَمَائُ بَیْنَہُمْ } compassionate among themselves. Hazrat Alqamah said: Mother, what would the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do (in grief)? Mother Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not weep over anyone in a wailing manner; when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was grieved, he would hold his blessed beard.
