[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came with the daughter of his daughter, and she was screaming as if she were in a trance. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "To Allah belongs what He takes, and to Allah belongs what He gives, and everything has a designated time. And he wept. Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, you are weeping even though you have prohibited crying?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, it is a mercy that Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants. Indeed, Allah shows mercy to the merciful among His servants."  

أَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِابْنَةِ ابْنَتِهِ وَنَفْسُهَا تَقَعْقَعُ كَأَنَّهَا فِي شَنٍّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ إِنَّمَا هِيَ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ  

A child was born into me this night and I named him after the name of my father Ibrihim. He then sent him to Umm Saif, the wife of a blacksmith who was called Abu Saif. He (the Holy Prophet) went to him and I followed him until we reached Abu Saif and he was blowing fire with the help of blacksmith's bellows and the house was filled with smoke. I hastened my step and went ahead of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Abu Saif, stop it, as there comes Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him). He stopped and Allah's Apostle ﷺ called for the child. He embraced him and said what Allah had desired. Anas said: I saw that the boy breathed his last in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The eyes of Messenger of Allah ﷺ shed tears and he said: Ibrahim, our eyes shed tears and our hearts are filled with grief, but we do not say anything except that by which Allah is pleased. O Ibrahim, we are grieved for you. (Using translation from Muslim 2315)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وُلِدَ لِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ بِأَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثُمَّ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى أُمِّ سَيْفٍ امْرَأَةِ قَيْنٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو سَيْفٍ فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَزُورُهُ وَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى أَبِي سَيْفٍ وَهُوَ يَنْفُخُ بِكِيرِهِ قَالَ وَالْبَيْتُ مُمْتَلِئٌ دُخَانًا قَالَ فَأَسْرَعْتُ الْمَشْيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَيْفٍ فَقُلْتُ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ أَمْسِكْ فَأَمْسَكَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِالصَّبِيِّ فَضَمَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَكِيدُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَا رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنُ وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَلَا نَقُولُ إِلَّا مَا يُرْضِي رَبَّنَا وَاللهِ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِنَّا بِكَ لَمَحْزُونُونَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out with Abdullah ibn Awf to the date palm trees, and suddenly his son Ibrahim began to gasp for breath. So the Prophet put him down in his lap, and his eyes filled with tears. Abdullah ibn Awf said, "Are you crying while you forbid people from crying?" The Prophet said, "I do not forbid crying, but I forbid two foolish and sinful voices: a voice at the sound of play and amusement, and the flutes of Satan, and a voice at the time of a calamity that involves tearing of faces and cutting of pockets, and wailing. This is a mercy, and whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. O Ibrahim! Had it not been the fact that this is a promise of Allah and a matter that is true, and that our last will join our first, we would have been more grief-stricken because of you than this. We are saddened by you, O Ibrahim!" His eyes were shedding tears, his heart was saddened, and we do not say anything that angers the Lord.  

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ إِلَى النَّخْلِ فَإِذَا ابْنُهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَتَبْكِي وَأَنْتَ تَنْهَى النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَنْهَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ إِنَّمَا نَهَيْتُ عَنِ النَّوْحِ صَوْتَيْنِ أَحْمَقَيْنِ فَاجِرَيْنِ صَوْتٌ عِنْدَ نَغَمَةِ لَهْوٍ وَلَعِبٍ وَمَزَامِيرِ شَيْطَانٍ وَصَوْتٌ عِنْدَ مُصِيبَةٍ خَمْشُ وُجُوهٍ وَشَقُّ جُيُوبٍ وَرَنَّةٌ وَهَذَا هُوَ رَحْمَةٌ وَمَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُ لَا يُرْحَمُ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَوْلَا أَنَّهُ أَمْرٌ حَقٌّ وَوَعْدٌ صِدْقٌ وَأَنَّ آخِرَنَا سَيَلْحَقُ بِأَوَّلِنَا لَحَزِنَّا عَلَيْكَ حُزْنًا هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْ هَذَا وَإِنَّا بِكَ لَمَحْزُونُونَ تَبْكِي الْعَيْنُ وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَلَا نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ  

Saʿd bin 'Ubada became sick and the Prophet ﷺ along with ʿAbdur Rahman bin ʿAuf, Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas and ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud visited him to inquire about his health. When he came to him, he found him surrounded by his household and he asked, "Has he died?" They said, "No, O Allah's Apostle." The Prophet ﷺ wept and when the people saw the weeping of Messenger of Allah ﷺ they all wept. He said, "Will you listen? Allah does not punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the heart but he punishes or bestows His Mercy because of this." He pointed to his tongue and added, "The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him." ʿUmar used to beat with a stick and throw stones and put dust over the faces (of those who used to wail over the dead). (Using translation from Bukhārī 1304)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ اشْتَكَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ شَكْوَى لَهُ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَوْمُ بُكَاءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَكَوْا فَقَالَ أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ بِدَمْعِ الْعَيْنِ وَلَا بِحُزْنِ الْقَلْبِ وَلَكِنْ يُعَذِّبُ بِهَذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ أَوْ يَرْحَمُ
