Bayhaqi 7149 — The concession to weep without lamenting or wailing

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنَةِ ابْنَتِهِ وَنَفْسُهَا تَقَعْقَعُ كَأَنَّهَا فِي شَنٍّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلِلَّهِ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلٌّ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى "، قَالَ: وَبَكَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَبْكِي وَقَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّمَا هِيَ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ.
Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The granddaughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought to him while her breath was rattling, as if it were in a water-skin. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "To Allah belongs what He has taken and what He has given, and everyone is moving towards his appointed time." Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: And he (peace and blessings be upon him) wept. Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Do you weep, when it was you (peace and blessings be upon him) who forbade weeping? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is only mercy, which Allah Almighty has placed in the hearts of His servants, and Allah shows mercy only to those of His servants who are merciful."
