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).

whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.” Salim narrated, “Ibn ‘Umar used to do the same
whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.” And Salim added, “Ibn ‘Umar used to pray the
Maghrib and ‘Isha’ prayers together in Al-Muzdalifa.” Salim said, “Ibn ‘Umar delayed the Maghrib
prayer because at that time he heard the news of the death of his wife Safiya bint Abi ‘Ubaid. I said to
him, ‘The prayer (is due).’ He said, ‘Go on.’ Again I said, ‘The prayer (is due).’ He said, ‘Go on,’ till we
covered two or three miles. Then he got down, prayed and said, ‘I saw the Prophet praying in this
way, whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.’ ‘Abdullah (bin ‘Umar) added, “Whenever the
Prophet was in a hurry, he used to delay the Maghrib prayer and then offer three Rakat (of the
Maghrib) and perform Taslim, and after waiting for a short while, Iqama used to be pronounced for
the ‘Isha’ prayer when he would offer two Rakat and perform Taslim. He would never offer any op –
tional prayer till the middle of the night (when he used to pray the Tahajjud).”

Witr and all that is permissible. I hope there will be no harm in it.”

Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) sent to Umar a cloak of silk brocade. Umar came to Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h)

needs by it.”
