ahmad:2412 – Muʿāwiyah b. ʿAmr > Abū Isḥāq > ʿAṭāʾ b. al-Sāʾib > ʿIkrimahaʿan Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came to some of his daughters while they were in the market. He took one of them and placed her in his lap until she passed away. Tears fell from his eyes, and Umm Ayman, his servant, also cried. It was said to her, "Are you crying in the presence of the Messenger of Allah?" She replied, "Shouldn't I cry when the Messenger of Allah is crying?" He said, "I am not crying, but this is mercy. Indeed, a believer's soul comes out between their sides while praising Allah, the Almighty."  

أحمد:٢٤١٢ – حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى بَعْضِ بَنَاتِهِ وَهِيَ فِي السَّوْقِ فَأَخَذَهَا وَوَضَعَهَا فِي حِجْرِهِ حَتَّى قُبِضَتْ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَبَكَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَقِيلَ لَهَا أَتَبْكِينَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَلا أَبْكِي وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْكِي؟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَبْكِ وَهَذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ تَخْرُجُ نَفْسُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَنْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَحْمَدُ اللهَ ﷻ

nasai:1843 – Hannād b. al-Sarī > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > ʿAṭāʾ b. al-Sāʾib > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

"When a young daughter of the Messenger of Allah was dying, the Messenger of Allah picked her up and held her to his chest, then he put his hand on her, and she died in front of the Messenger of Allah. Umm Ayman wept and the Messenger of Allah said 'Oh Umm Ayman, do you weep while the Messenger of Allah is with you?' She said: 'Why shouldn't I weep when the Messenger of Allah is weeping." So the Messenger of Allah said "Verily, I am not weeping. Rather it is compassion.' Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'The believer is fine whatever the situation; even when his soul is being pulled from his body and he praises Allah, the Mighty and Sublime"'

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ took his daughter and held her, and he placed her between his two breasts. She died while she was between his two breasts, so Umm Ayman cried out. It was said, "Are you crying in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" She said, "Don't you see that even the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is crying?". He said, "I am not crying; it is just mercy. Verily, the believer is blessed in every situation, even when his soul leaves his body while he praises Allah, the Almighty."
