We suddenly reached Abu Saif, who was blowing into his bellows, and because of this, the whole house was filled with smoke. I walked faster than the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and reached Abu Saif and said to him: "O Abu Saif, stop, stop! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has arrived." So he stopped. Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for his son, held him to his chest, and said what Allah willed. Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I saw him (Ibrahim) suffering the pangs of death. Tears flowed from the eyes of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

We are very saddened and grieved because of you."
