Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted his daughter, who was in the throes of death. He took her in his lap and then held her to his chest, and in the meantime, she passed away. Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) began to wail and cry out. It was said to her, "Do you cry in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" She addressed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Do I not see you weeping?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "I am not weeping; this is merely a sign of mercy. A believer is in goodness in every situation; his breath is departing from his sides and he is praising Allah, the Exalted."
