Chapter: Crying for the deceased
Hadith 922
وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَإسحاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كُلُّهُمْ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ : لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، قُلْتُ : غَرِيبٌ وَفِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَةٍ ، لَأَبْكِيَنَّهُ بُكَاءً يُتَحَدَّثُ عَنْهُ ، فَكُنْتُ قَدْ تَهَيَّأْتُ لِلْبُكَاءِ عَلَيْهِ ، إِذْ أَقَبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الصَّعِيدِ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُسْعِدَنِي ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَالَ : " أَتُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تُدْخِلِي الشَّيْطَانَ بَيْتًا أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ " فَكَفَفْتُ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ ، فَلَمْ أَبْكِ .
Umm Salamah reported: When Abu Salama died I said: I am a stranger in a strange land; I shall weep for him in a manner that would be talked of. I made preparation for weeping for him when a woman from the upper side of the city came there who intended to help me (in weeping). She happened to come across the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: Do you intend to bring the devil into a house from which Allah has twice driven him out? I (Umm Salamah), therefore, refrained from weeping and I did not weep.
Hadith 923
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِهِ تَدْعُوهُ وَتُخْبِرُهُ ، أَنَّ صَبِيًّا لَهَا أَوِ ابْنًا لَهَا فِي الْمَوْتِ ، فَقَالَ لِلرَّسُولِ : ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى ، وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ، فَمُرْهَا فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ " ، فَعَادَ الرَّسُولُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهَا قَدْ أَقْسَمَتْ لَتَأْتِيَنَّهَا ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَامَ مَعَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ، وَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمْ ، فَرُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ الصَّبِيُّ وَنَفْسُهُ تَقَعْقَعُ كَأَنَّهَا فِي شَنَّةٍ ، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ : مَا هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " هَذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ " .
Usama bin Zaid reported: While we were with the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , one of his daughters sent to him (the Messenger) to call him and inform him that her child or her son was dying. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told the messenger to go back and tell her that what Allah had taken belonged to Him, and to him belonged what He granted; and He has an appointed time for everything. So you (the messenger) order her to show endurance and seek reward from Allah. The messenger came back and said: She adjures him to come to her. He got up to go accompanied by Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, Mu'adh bin Jabal, and I also went along with them. The child was lifted to him and his soul was feeling as restless as if it was in an old (water skin). His (Prophet's) eyes welled up with tears. Sa'd said: What is this, Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) He replied: This is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and God shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.
Hadith 923
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ حَدِيثَ حَمَّادٍ أَتَمُّ وَأَطْوَلُ .
This hadith has been narrated by another chain of transmitters on the authority of 'Asim al-Atwal.
Hadith 924
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّدَفِيُّ ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ الْعَامِرِيُّ ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : اشْتَكَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ شَكْوَى لَهُ ، فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، وَسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَدَهُ فِي غَشِيَّةٍ ، فَقَالَ : " أَقَدْ قَضَى " ، قَالُوا : لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَبَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَوْمُ بُكَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكَوْا ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ بِدَمْعِ الْعَيْنِ ، وَلَا بِحُزْنِ الْقَلْبِ ، وَلَكِنْ يُعَذِّبُ بِهَذَا ، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ ، أَوْ يَرْحَمُ " .
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said that Sa'd bin Ubadah complained of illness. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to visit him accompanied by 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud. As he entered (his room) he found him in a swoon. Upon this he said: Has he died? They said: Messenger of Allah, it is not so. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wept. When the people saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) weeping, they also began to weep. He said. Listen, Allah does not punish for the tears that the eye sheds or the grief the heart feels, but He punishes for this (pointing to his tongue), or He may show mercy.
