Bayhaqi 7152 — The concession to weep without lamenting or wailing

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أنبأ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: اشْتَكَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ شَكْوَى لَهُ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَدَهُ فِي غَشْيَةٍ فَقَالَ: " أَقَدْ قَضَى؟ " فَقَالُوا: لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَبَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَوْمُ بُكَاءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكَوْا فَقَالَ: " أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ بِدَمْعِ الْعَيْنِ وَلَا بِحُزْنِ الْقَلْبِ وَلَكِنْ يُعَذِّبُ بِهَذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ أَوْ يَرْحَمُ ". ⦗١١٦⦘ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَصْبَغَ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ. وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَوَّادٍ.
Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) fell ill, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit him, and Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him (peace and blessings be upon him), as were Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to him, he was in a faint, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Has he died?" It was said: No. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wept. When the people saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) weeping, they wept too, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not hear? Allah Almighty does not punish for the tears of the eye nor for the grief of the heart; rather, punishment comes because of this," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to his tongue, "or mercy is shown."
