By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not say that a believer is punished because of the weeping of his relatives, rather the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Allah increases the punishment of a disbeliever because of the weeping of his relatives.'" And after this she said: "The Qur'an (this verse) is sufficient for you: 'No bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.' (Surah Al-An'am: 164)" __QUR_N__ __XREF_N__ __REF_N__

So I said,“You see the condition of my illness, and I am a wealthy man, and after me, I have no heir except my only daughter. Should I give two-thirds of my wealth in charity?”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“No.”I said,“Half?”But the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“No.”I said,“A third?”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“A third, and a third is still a lot. It is better that you leave your heirs wealthy than to leave them poor, begging from people. And whatever you spend seeking the pleasure of Allah, you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel you put in your wife’s mouth.”I said,“O Messenger of Allah! Will I be left behind (in Makkah) after my companions?”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“If you are left behind and do good deeds, your rank and status will only increase. Perhaps you will live a long life so that some people (i.e., Muslims) will benefit from you and some people (i.e., disbelievers) will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the migration of my companions and do not turn them back (i.e., do not let them die in Makkah). But poor Sa’d bin Khawlah.”(The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, expressed sorrow for him) because he died in Makkah.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) did not have enough strength to stop her. Then when he regained consciousness, he said: "I am free from that person from whom Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), declared himself free. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) declared himself free from the woman who wails loudly in grief, shaves her head, and tears her collar or garment."

The effect of grief was visible on his face, and I was watching through a crack in the door. Meanwhile, a person came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the women of Sayyiduna Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him) and their weeping. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to stop them. Accordingly, he went and stopped them. Then he came again to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that they are not listening. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Stop them.”So he went and stopped them. Then for the third time, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said,“O Messenger of Allah!

Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) was not at home at the time; he had gone out for some work. When his wife (Umm Sulaym) saw that the child had died, she bathed him, shrouded him, and laid him in a corner of the house. When Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) came home at night, he asked, "How is the boy?" His wife (Umm Sulaym) replied, "He is at peace, and I hope he is resting comfortably." Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) thought she was telling the truth. So Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) spent the night with his wife. When morning came, he performed ghusl and was about to go out when Umm Sulaym informed him that the boy had passed away. Then he performed the morning prayer with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). After that, they informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of what had happened between them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I hope Allah will bless you both in this night." One of the Ansar (Sufyan says from me) said: "I saw nine sons of both of them, all of whom were reciters of the Qur'an."

(Do you weep?)”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied:“O Ibn Awf! This is a mercy.”Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wept more and said:“The eye weeps and the heart grieves, but we do not say except that which pleases our Lord. And O Ibrahim! We are greatly grieved at your separation.”
