ahmad:13591ʿAffān > Ḥammād > Thābit > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] Um Ayman cried when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed away. They asked her, "Why are you crying?" She replied, "By Allah, I knew that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pass away, but I am crying for the revelation that has ceased coming down to us from the sky."  

أحمد:١٣٥٩١حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ بَكَتْ حِينَ مَاتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهَا تَبْكِينَ؟ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي وَاللهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَيَمُوتُ وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا أَبْكِي عَلَى الْوَحْيِ الَّذِي انْقَطَعَ عَنَّا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ

أَنَّ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ بَكَتْ لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهَا مَا يُبْكِيكِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَيَمُوتُ وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا أَبْكِي عَلَى الْوَحْيِ الَّذِي رُفِعَ عَنَّا
