3125. It was narrated from Usāmah bin Zaid that a daughter of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent word to him, when Sa'd and I, and I think Ubayy, were with him,
(saying): "My son" or "daughter is dying; come to us." He sent word to her, conveying his Salām, and he said: "Say: 'Lillāhi mā akhadha wa mā a'ṭa, wa kullu shaīn 'indahu ajal (To Allāh belongs that which He takes and that which He gives, and everything has an appointed time with Him).'" She sent word adjuring him to come, so he went to her, and the child was placed in the lap of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and his soul was rattling. The eyes of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ overflowed with tears, and Sa'd said to him: "What is this?" He said: "This is compassion which Allāh places in the hearts of whomever He wills, and Allāh only shows mercy to the merciful among His slaves." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Tears upon a loved one's death, are natural. There is nothing wrong in it. It is rather a sign of mercy and the tenderness of the heart.
