1599. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ opened a door that was between him and the people or drew back a curtain and he saw the people praying behind Abu Bakr. He praised Allāh for what he saw of their good situation and hoped that Allāh succeed him by what he saw in them.[1] He said: 'O people, whoever among the people or among the believers is stricken with a calamity, then let him console himself with the loss of me, for no one among my nation will be stricken with any calamity worse than my loss.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
a. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ cared for his people even in the last days of his blessed life, so he ﷺ was pleased when he observed them being firm on righteousness.
b. When observing patience over a calamity seems hard, one should reflect that the death of a relative or an elderly person is not a new thing, whoever came to this world, have to depart for the Next. When the great personality like Muhammad ﷺ, the Messenger of Allāh, had died, then who else would live forever!
