It was
narrated that Asma’ bint Yazid said:
“When Ibrahim, the son of
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), died, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
wept.
The one who was consoling him, either Abu Bakr or ‘Umar, said
to him:
‘You are indeed the best of those who glorify Allah with
what is due
to him.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The eye
weeps and the
heart grieves, but we do not say anything that angers
the Lord. Were
it not that death is something that inevitably comes
to all, and that
the latter will surely join the former, then we
would have been more
than we are, verily we grieve for you.’”
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمُعَزِّي - إِمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَإِمَّا عُمَرُ - أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ مَنْ عَظَّمَ اللَّهَ حَقَّهُ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ . " تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنُ وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَلاَ نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ لَوْلاَ أَنَّهُ وَعْدٌ صَادِقٌ وَمَوْعُودٌ جَامِعٌ وَأَنَّ الآخِرَ تَابِعٌ لِلأَوَّلِ لَوَجَدْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا وَجَدْنَا وَإِنَّا بِكَ لَمَحْزُونُونَ "
