Volume 9, Book 93, Number 540:
Narrated Usama:
A son of one of the daughters of the Prophet was dying, so she sent a person to call the Prophet. He
sent (her a message), “What ever Allah takes is for Him, and whatever He gives is for Him, and
everything has a limited fixed term (in this world) so she should be patient and hope for Allah’s re –
ward.” She then sent for him again, swearing that he should come. Allah’s Apostle got up, and so did
Mu’adh bin Jabal, Ubai bin Ka’b and ‘Ubada bin As-Samit. When he entered (the house), they gave
the child to Allah’s Apostle while its breath was disturbed in his chest. (The sub-narrator said: I think
he said, “…as if it was a water skin.”) Allah’s Apostle started weeping whereupon Sa’d bin ‘Ubada said,
“Do you weep?” The Prophet said, “Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to
others).”

Volume 8, Book 78, Number 649:
Narrated Usama:
Once a daughter of Allah’s Apostle sent a message to Allah’s Apostle while Usama, Sa’d, and my
father or Ubai were (sitting there) with him. She said, (in the message); My child is going to die;
please come to us.” Allah’s Apostle returned the messenger and told him to convey his greetings to
her, and say, “Whatever Allah takes, is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything
with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world): so she should be patient and hope for Allah’s re –
ward.” Then she again sent for him swearing that he should come; so The Prophet got up, and so did
we. When he sat there (at the house of his daughter), the child was brought to him, and he took him
into his lap while the child’s breath was disturbed in his chest. The eyes of Allah’s Apostle started
shedding tears. Sa’d said, “What is this, O Allah’s Apostle?” The Prophet said, “This is the mercy which
Allah has lodged in the hearts of whoever He wants of His slaves, and verily Allah is merciful only to
those of His slaves who are merciful (to others).’

Once while I was with the Prophet and Sa’d, Ubai bin Ka’b and Mu’adh were also sitting with him,
there came to him a messenger from one of his daughters, telling him that her child was on the
verge of death. The Prophet told the messenger to tell her, “It is for Allah what He takes, and it is for
Allah what He gives, and everything has its fixed time (limit). So (she should) be patient and look for
Allah’s reward.”

The Prophet said, “I stood at the gate of Paradise and saw that the majority of the people who had
entered it were poor people, while the rich were forbidden (to enter along with the poor, because
they were waiting the reckoning of their accounts), but the people of the Fire had been ordered to be
driven to the Fire. And I stood at the gate of the Fire and found that the majority of the people enter –
ing it were women.”

that the majority of those who entered it were women.”
