When Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was informed of his son's death during a journey, he dismounted from his ride and performed two units of prayer, then recited «إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» , and said: We have done what Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has commanded us to do. Then he recited this verse: ﴿وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ﴾ "Seek help through patience and prayer."
