[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.
