حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ: نَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: نَا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ:
أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّخْلِ فَوَجَدَ فِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكَ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: تَبْكِي أَوَلَمْ تَنْهَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا نَهَيْتُ عَنِ النَّوْحِ عَنْ صَوْتَيْنِ أَحْمَقَيْنِ فَاجِرَيْنِ: صَوْتٌ عِنْدَ نِعْمَةٍ لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَمَزَامِيرُ شَيْطَانَ، وَصَوْتٌ عِنْدَ مُصِيبَةٍ خَمْشُ وُجُوهٍ وَشَقُّ جُيُوبٍ وَرَنَّةُ شَيْطَانَ إِنَّهُ لَا يُرْحَمُ مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُ لَوْلَا أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ وَوَعْدُ صِدْقٍ وَأَنَّهُمَا سَبِيلٌ مَأْتِيَّةٌ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهَا حَتَّى يَلْحَقَ آخِرُنَا بِأَوَّلِهِ لَحَزِنَّا حُزْنًا أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا يَعْنِي عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّا بِهِ لَمَحْزُونُونَ تَبْكِي الْعَيْنُ وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَلَا نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ".

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ took me by the hand and went to the palm grove, where he found Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ took him and placed him in his lap, and his eyes shed tears. Then he said: "O my son, I cannot avail you against God in anything." I said: "O Messenger of God, do you weep? Did you not forbid weeping?" He said: "I only forbade wailing, two foolish and sinful voices: a voice at the time of blessing—play, amusement, and the flutes of Satan—and a voice at the time of calamity—scratching of faces, tearing of garments, and the lament of Satan. Indeed, the one who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. Were it not that it is a truth and a true promise, and that they are a path that must be traversed, from which there is no escape, until the last of us joins the first, we would have grieved with grief more intense than this—meaning for him. And indeed we are saddened by him. The eye weeps and the heart grieves, but we do not say what displeases the Lord, Mighty and Majestic."
