Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 512

Translation

✧ A child of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became severely ill. His mother sent to the Prophet ﷺ, saying that her child was dying. He said to the messenger, "Go and tell her: To Allah belongs what He takes, and to Him belongs what He gives, and everything with Him is for a fixed term. Let her be patient and seek reward." The messenger returned and informed her. She sent to him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet ﷺ stood up with a group of his Companions, among them Saʿd b. ʿUbādah. The Prophet ﷺ took the child and placed him between his chest and upper chest, while his chest made a rattling sound like the rattling of an old waterskin. The eyes of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ flowed with tears. Saʿd said, "Do you weep while you are the Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I weep only as a mercy for her. Allah does not show mercy to His servants except the merciful."
