23.41 Whoever shows no signs of grief and sorrow on the falling of a calamity

٢٣۔٤١ باب مَنْ لَمْ يُظْهِرْ حُزْنَهُ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ

[Machine] And Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Quradhi said: "Stammering is bad speech, and bad assumptions." And Jacob ﷺ said: "I only complain of my suffering and grief to Allah."

وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيُّ: الْجَزَعُ الْقَوْلُ السَّيِّئُ وَالظَّنُّ السَّيِّئُ. وَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ: {إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ}.

Duʿāʾ of the Prophet ﷺ for the parents at the death of their child who then bore nine pious children

bukhari:1301Bishr b. al-Ḥakam > Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > Anas b. Mālik

One of the sons of Abu Talha became sick and died and Abu Talha at that time was not at home. When his wife saw that he was dead, she prepared him (washed and shrouded him) and placed him somewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, "How is the boy?" She said, "The child is quiet and I hope he is in peace." Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passed the night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son had died, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and informed the Prophet ﷺ of what happened to them. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah bless you concerning your night. (That is, may Allah bless you with good offspring)." Sufyan said, "One of the Ansar said, 'They (i.e. Abu Talha and his wife) had nine sons and all of them became reciters of the Qur'an (by heart).' "  

البخاري:١٣٠١حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ يَقُولُ

اشْتَكَى ابْنٌ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ قَالَ فَمَاتَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ خَارِجٌ فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ هَيَّأَتْ شَيْئًا وَنَحَّتْهُ فِي جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ قَالَ كَيْفَ الْغُلاَمُ قَالَتْ قَدْ هَدَأَتْ نَفْسُهُ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اسْتَرَاحَ وَظَنَّ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَنَّهَا صَادِقَةٌ قَالَ فَبَاتَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ اغْتَسَلَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَعْلَمَتْهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَا كَانَ مِنْهُمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ لَكُمَا فِي لَيْلَتِكُمَا۔» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَرَأَيْتُ لَهُمَا تِسْعَةَ أَوْلاَدٍ كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ۔
