وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي قَضِيَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ، وَمَنْ لَا يَرْحَمْ لَا يُرْحَمْ، يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، لَوْلَا أَنَّهُ أَمْرٌ حَقٌّ، وَوَعْدٌ صِدْقٌ، وَسَبِيلٌ نَأْتِيهِ، وَأَنَّ أُخْرَانَا سَيَلْحَقُ أُولَانَا لَحَزِنَّا عَلَيْكَ حُزْنًا أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا، وَإِنَّا بِكَ لَمَحْزُونُونَ، تَبْكِي الْعَيْنُ، وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ، وَلَا نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf ؓ by the hand... and he mentioned the hadith concerning the affair of Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'This is only mercy. Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. O Ibrahim, were it not that it is a true matter, a truthful promise, and a path we all must take, and that our latter ones will join our former ones, we would have grieved over you with grief stronger than this. And indeed we are grieved over you. The eye sheds tears, the heart grieves, and we do not say what displeases the Lord.'
