حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّافِعِيُّ ثنا عَمِّي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ قَالَتْ
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُعَزِّي لَهُ إِمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وإِمَّا عُمَرُ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ مَنْ عَرَفَ لِلَّهِ حَقٌّ فَقَالَ «تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنُ وَيَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَلَا نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ وَعَدٌ صَادِقٌ ومَوْعِدٌ جَامِعٌ وَإِنَّ الْآخِرَ تَابَعٌ لِلْأَوَّلِ لَوَجَدْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا وَجَدْنَا وَإِنَّا بِكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَحْزُونُونَ»

✧ When Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet ﷺ, passed away, the comforter said to him, "Either Abu Bakr or Umar, you know better who truly knew Allah." The comforter then said, "The eye sheds tears and the heart grieves, but we do not say anything that angers the Lord. If it were not for the fact that He is truthful in His promise and the meeting is inevitable, and that the following life is a continuation of the first one, we would have found you, O Ibrahim, in a better state than we did, and indeed, we are saddened by your departure."
