Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Mahmud bin Labid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The day the son of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Ibrahim, passed away, there was a solar eclipse. The eyes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were filled with tears. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah! Even though you are the Messenger of Allah, are you also weeping? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am only a human being. Tears flow from the eyes, and the heart is full of humility and submission, but we will not say anything that would displease the Lord. O Ibrahim! By Allah! We are grieved because of your (separation)."
