ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ أَلْفَاظَ الْوَعْدِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا لِمَنْ بِهِ الْمِحَنُ وَالْبَلَايَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ لِمَنْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ فِيهَا دُونَ مَنْ سَخِطَ حُكْمَهُ

[Machine] The daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on her deathbed, so he took her and placed her in front of him, then he hugged her while she was struggling until her last breath came out, and he was crying. He then laid her down, and the mother of Ayyman shouted. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not cry." She said, "Don't you see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ crying?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, your tears are a mercy from a believer, for every good deed causes his soul to come out from his side while he is praising Allah."  

ابن حبّان:٢٩١٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ

أَنَّ ابْنَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَضَرَتْهَا الْوَفَاةُ فَأَخَذَهَا فَجَعَلَهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ احْتَضَنَهَا وَهِيَ تُنْزَعُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ نَفَسُهَا وَهُوَ يَبْكِي فَوَضَعَهَا فَصَاحَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَبْكِي» فَقَالَتْ أَلَا أَرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَبْكِي؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَبْكِ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ رَحْمَةٌ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ تَخْرُجُ نَفْسُهُ مِنْ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ»

nasai:1843Hannād 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."
