Hadith 324
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَةً لَهُ تَقْضِي فَاحْتَضَنَهَا فَوَضَعَهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَمَاتَتْ وَهِيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَصَاحَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَقَالَ - يَعْنِي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -: «أَتَبْكِينَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: أَلَسْتُ أَرَاكَ تَبْكِي؟ قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَبْكِي، إِنَّمَا هِيَ رَحْمَةٌ، إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ، إِنَّ نَفْسَهُ تُنْزَعُ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَنْبَيْهِ، وَهُوَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had a daughter who was near death. He took her and lifted her into his lap, and in that state she passed away while she was in his hands. Umm Ayman began to cry out loudly, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you crying in the presence of the Messenger of Allah?" She replied: "Do I not see you weeping?" He said: "I am not weeping; these are tears of mercy. Indeed, the believer is always in a state of goodness; even when his soul departs from his side, at that moment he praises Allah, the Exalted."
