Re: ~H.A.D.I.T.H~ of the Day
In Bukhari and Muslim, narrated Usaamah ibn Zayd - radi Allaahu ‘anhuma: A woman sent to the Prophet - sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam - that her son was dying and that he should come to visit her. The Prophet - sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam - sent back a message to her. In it he said, “To Allah belongs whatever he takes, and to Him belongs what He gives. Everything to Him has a decreed life, so be patient and seek the Reward with Allah. She sent back with an oath that he -sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam - must come in person to visit her. So Allah’s Messenger - sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam - stood and with him was Sa’d ibn Ubaadah, Mu’aadh ibn Jabal, Ubayy ibn Ka’b, and Zayd ibn Thabit, as well as others.At her home, the young boy was given to the Prophet, sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam, it’s breathing faltering. The eyes of the Prophet - sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam - welled with tears.
Seeing the Prophet crying, Sa’d said to him, **“What is this O Messenger of Allah?”
** Rasul Allah - sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam - replied,** “This is mercy which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants. And indeed it is to only the merciful of His servants that Allah gives mercy.”**
