Hadith 555

أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ عَتِيكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ: [ ص: 77 ] أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ، فَصَاحَ بِهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ، فَصَاحَ النِّسْوَةُ وَبَكَيْنَ، فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسْكِتُهُنَّ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ" ، قَالَ: وَمَا الْوُجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: "إِذَا مَاتَ" .
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Atiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit Abdullah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was ill, and found him unconscious. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called out to him loudly, but he did not respond. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited: “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return” and said: “O Abu Rabi’, we are overcome in your matter (the decision of Allah has prevailed).” The women began to cry loudly with wailing. Abdullah bin Atiq (may Allah be pleased with him) started to silence them, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Leave them; when it becomes obligatory, then let no wailing woman wail.” Ibn Atiq (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what has become obligatory? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When he passes away.”
