Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12504 — The Messenger of Allah

It is narrated from Alqamah bin Waqqas that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Sayyiduna Umar were present with Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I could tell that this was the sound of Abu Bakr's weeping and this was Sayyiduna Umar's, while I was in my room. She said: They were as Allah has said: "merciful among themselves." Alqamah said: "Mother, what did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do (in grief)?" Mother Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: His (peace and blessings be upon him) eye would not shed tears over anyone; but when he (peace and blessings be upon him) felt grief, he would take hold of his blessed beard.
