Volume 2, Book 23, Number 390:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
We went with Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) to the blacksmith Abu Saif, and he was the husband of the
wet-nurse of Ibrahim (the son of the Prophet). Allah’s Apostle took Ibrahim and kissed him and
smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif’s house and at that time Ibrahim was in his last breaths,
and the eyes of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) started shedding tears. ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf said, “O Al –
lah’s Apostle, even you are weeping!” He said, “O Ibn ‘Auf, this is mercy.” Then he wept more and
said, “The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say except what pleases
our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation.”

Sad bin ‘Ubada became sick and the Prophet along with ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf, Sad bin Abi
Waqqas and ‘Abdullah bin Masud visited him to enquire 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 wept and when the people saw the weeping of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) 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.” ‘Umar used to beat with a stick
and throw stones and put dust over the faces (of those who used to wail over the dead).

Narrated Aisha:
When the news of the martyrdom of Zaid bin Haritha, Ja’far and ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha came, the
Prophet sat down looking sad, and I was looking through the chink of the door. A man came and
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The women of Ja’far,” and then he mentioned their crying . The Prophet
(p.b.u.h) ordered h im to stop them from crying. The man went and came back and said, “I tried to
stop them but they disobeyed.” The Prophet (p.b.u.h) ordered him for the second time to forbid them.
He went again and came back and said, “They did not listen to me, (or “us”: the sub-narrator
Muhammad bin Haushab is in doubt as to which is right). ” (‘Aisha added: The Prophet said, “Put dust
in their mouths.” I said (to that man), “May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you).” By
Allah, you could not (stop the women from crying) to fulfill the order, besides you did not relieve Al –
lah’s Apostle from fatigue.”
