Hadith text

Narrated Usama:Once a daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent a message to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while Usama, Sa`d, and my father or Ubai were (sitting there) with him. She said, (in the message); My child is going to die; please come to us." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) returned the messenger and told him to convey his greetings to her, and say, "Whatever Allah takes, is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world): so she should be patient and hope for Allah's reward." Then she again sent for him swearing that he should come; so The Prophet (ﷺ) got up, and so did we. When he sat there (at the house of his daughter), the child was brought to him, and he took him into his lap while the child's breath was disturbed in his chest. The eyes of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started shedding tears. Sa`d said, "What is this, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is the mercy which Allah has lodged in the hearts of whoever He wants of His slaves, and verily Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others)

Usama bataate hain: Ek baar Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ki ek beti ne unke paas paighaam bheja jabke Usama, Sa'd aur mere waalid ya Ubai unke saath (baithe) the. Usne kaha (paighaam mein), 'Mera bacha marne wala hai; barah-e-meharbaani humaare paas aayiye.' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne paighaam-baar ko wapas bheja aur usse kaha ke wo unhein salaam pahunchaaye aur kahe, 'Jo bhi Allah leta hai, wo uska hai, aur jo bhi wo deta hai, wo uska hai, aur uske paas har cheez ki (is duniya mein) muqarrar muddat hai: isliye use sabra karna chaahiye aur Allah ke ajr ki ummeed rakhni chaahiye.' Phir usne dobara unke paas paighaam bheja, qasam dete hue ke wo aayein; to Nabi (SAW) uthe, aur hum bhi uthe. Jab wo wahaan (apni beti ke ghar) baithe, bacha unke paas laaya gaya, aur unhone use apni god mein liya jabke bacche ki saans uski chhaati mein ulajh rahi thi. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ki aankhon se aansu behne lage. Sa'd ne kaha, 'Ye kya hai, Aye Allah ke Rasool?' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Ye wo rehmat hai jo Allah ne apne un bandon ke dilon mein daali hai jinke liye wo chaahta hai, aur beshak Allah apne un bandon par hi reham karta hai jo (doosron par) reham karte hain.'
