5655. Narrated Abū ‘Uthmān: Usāma bin Zaid رضي الله عنهما said that while he, Sa’d and Ubayy bin Ka’b were with the Prophet ﷺ, a daughter of the Prophet ﷺ sent a message to him, saying, “My daughter is dying; please come to us.” The Prophet ﷺ sent her his greetings and added, “It is for Allāh what He takes, and what He gives; and everything before His Sight has a limited period. So she should hope for Allāh’s reward and remain patient.” She again sent a message, beseeching him, by Allāh, to come. So the Prophet ﷺ got up, and so did we (and went there). The child was placed on his lap while his breath was irregular. Tears flowed from the eyes of the Prophet ﷺ. Sa’d said to him, “What is this, O Allāh’s Messenger?” He said, “This is mercy which Allāh has embedded in the hearts of whomever He wished of His slaves. And Allāh does not bestow His Mercy, except on those among His slaves who are merciful (to others).” (See Hadith No. 1284, Vol. 2)
