This hadith is narrated on the authority of 'Ala' with the same chain of transmitters.

Umm Salamah reported: When Abu Salama died I said: I am a stranger in a strange land; I shall weep for him in a manner that would be talked of. I made preparation for weeping for him when a woman from the upper side of the city came there who intended to help me (in weeping). She happened to come across the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he said: Do you intend to bring the devil into a house from which Allah has twice driven him out? I (Umm Salamah), therefore, refrained from weeping and I did not weep.

Usama bin Zaid reported: While we were with the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , one of his daughters sent to him (the Messenger) to call him and inform him that her child or her son was dying. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) told the messenger to go back and tell her that what Allah had taken belonged to Him, and to him belonged what He granted; and He has an appointed time for everything. So you (the messenger) order her to show endurance and seek reward from Allah. The messenger came back and said: She adjures him to come to her. He got up to go accompanied by Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, Mu'adh bin Jabal, and I also went along with them. The child was lifted to him and his soul was feeling as restless as if it was in an old (water skin). His (Prophet's) eyes welled up with tears. Sa'd said: What is this, Messenger of Allah? ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) He replied: This is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and God shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.

This hadith has been narrated by another chain of transmitters on the authority of 'Asim al-Atwal.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar said that Sa'd bin Ubadah complained of illness. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to visit him accompanied by 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud. As he entered (his room) he found him in a swoon. Upon this he said: Has he died? They said: Messenger of Allah, it is not so. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wept. When the people saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) weeping, they also began to weep. He said. Listen, Allah does not punish for the tears that the eye sheds or the grief the heart feels, but He punishes for this (pointing to his tongue), or He may show mercy.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar reported: While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , a person, one of the Ansar, came to him and greeted him. The Ansari then turned back. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: O brother of Ansar, how is my brother Sa'd bin 'Ubadah? He said: He is better. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Who amongst you would visit him? He (the Holy Prophet) stood up and we also got up along with him, and we were more than ten persons. We had neither shoes with us, nor socks, nor caps, nor shirts. We walked on the barren land till we came to him. The people around him kept away till the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and his Companions with him came near him (Sa'd bin 'Ubadah).

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Endurance is to be shown at the first blow.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to a woman who had been weeping for her (dead) child, and said to her: Fear Allah and show endurance. She (not recognising him) said: You have not been afflicted as I have been. When he (the Holy Prophet) had departed, it was said to her that he was the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , she was mortally shocked. She came to his door and she did not find doorkeepers at his door. She said: Messenger of Allah. I did not recognise you. He said: Endurance is to be shown at first blow, or at the first blow.

A hadith like this is narrated with the same chain of transmitters but with the addition of these words:" The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) happened to pass by a woman (who was sitting) by the side of a grave."

'Abdullah bin 'Umar reported that Hafsa wept for 'Umar (when he was about to due). He ('Umar) said: Be quiet, my daughter. Don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had said:" The dead is punished because of his family's weeping over it"?
