1595 - (ق) عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: أَرَسْلَتْ ابْنَةُ النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم إِلَيْهِ: إِنَّ ابْناً لِي قُبِضَ فَائْتِنَا، فَأَرْسَلَ يُقْرِئُ السَّلاَمَ، وَيَقُولُ: (إِنَّ للهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ ما أَعْطَى، وَكُلٌّ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى، فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ) . فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّهَا، فَقَامَ وَمَعَهُ: سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، وَمَعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، وَرِجَالٌ، فَرُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم الصَّبِيُّ وَنَفْسُهُ تَتَقَعْقَعُ [1] ـ قَالَ: حَسِبْتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَأَنَّهَا شَنٌّ [2] ـ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا رَسولَ اللهِ ما هذَا؟ فَقَالَ: (هذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللهُ في قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللهُ مِنَ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحمَاءَ) .
Usāmah ibn Zayd ibn Hārithah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet's daughter sent for him to come over because her son was dying. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sent her the greeting of peace and this message: "To Allah belongs what He takes, and to Him belongs what He gives, and for everything He sets a specific term. So she should have patience and seek the reward from Allah." She sent back urging him to come to her. So he, along with Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubādah, Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal, Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, Zayd ibn Thābit and other men (may Allah be pleased with them) went. The boy was given to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his breath was disturbed in his chest, which made the eyes of the Messenger of Allah overflow with tears. Thereupon, Sa‘d said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is that?" He said: "That is mercy which Allah, the Exalted, puts in the hearts of His slaves." In another version: "In the hearts of those He wills of His slaves. Indeed, Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful."
