6655. Narrated Usāma رضي الله عنه: Once a daughter of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent a message to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ while Usāma, Sa'd, and my father or Ubayy were (sitting there) with him. She said, (in the message); "My child is going to die, please come to us." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ returned the messenger and told him to convey his greetings to her, and say: "Whatever Allāh takes; is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world); so she should be patient and hope for Allāh's Reward." Then she again sent for him swearing that he should come, so the Prophet got up, and so did we. When he sat there (at the house of his daughter), the child was brought to him, and he took him into his lap while the child's breath was disturbed in his chest. The eyes of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ started shedding tears. Sa'd said, "What is this, O Allāh's Messenger?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is the mercy which Allāh has lodged in the hearts of whomsoever He wants of His slaves. Verily Allāh is Merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others)."
