حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ رضى الله عنهما

قَالَ أَرْسَلَتِ ابْنَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ ابْنًا لِي قُبِضَ فَائْتِنَا. فَأَرْسَلَ يُقْرِئُ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولُ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلٌّ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى، فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ». فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّهَا، فَقَامَ وَمَعَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَرِجَالٌ، فَرُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّبِيُّ وَنَفْسُهُ تَتَقَعْقَعُ قَالَ حَسِبْتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَأَنَّهَا شَنٌّ.

فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ. فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ»

The daughter of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent (a messenger) to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) requesting him to come as her child was dying (or was gasping), but the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) returned the messenger and told him to convey his greeting to her and say: “Whatever Allah takes is for Him and whatever He gives, is for Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world) and so she should be patient and hope for Allah’s reward.”

She again sent for him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) got up, and so did Sad ibn Ubada, Muadh ibn Jabal, Ubai ibn Kab, Zayd ibn Thabit and some other men. The child was brought to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while his breath was disturbed in his chest (the sub-narrator thinks that Usamah added:) as if it was a leather water-skin.

On that the eyes of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) started shedding tears. Sad said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! What is this?” He replied, “It is mercy which Allah has lodged in the hearts of His slaves, and Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others).”

উসামাহ ইবনু যায়দ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর জনৈকা কন্যা (যায়নাব) তাঁর (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ) নিকট লোক পাঠালেন যে, আমার এক পুত্র মরণাপন্ন অবস্থায় রয়েছে, তাই আপনি আমাদের নিকট আসুন। তিনি বলে পাঠালেন, (তাঁকে) সালাম দিবে এবং বলবেঃ আল্লাহ্‌রই অধিকারে যা কিছু তিনি নিয়ে যান আর তাঁরই অধিকারে যা কিছু তিনি দান করেন।

তাঁর নিকট সকল কিছুরই একটি নির্দিষ্ট সময় আছে। কাজেই সে যেন ধৈর্য ধারণ করে এবং সাওয়াবের অপেক্ষায় থাকে। তখন তিনি তাঁর কাছে কসম দিয়ে পাঠালেন, তিনি যেন অবশ্যই আগমন করেন। তখন তিনি দন্ডায়মান হলেন এবং তাঁর সাথে ছিলেন সা’দ ইবনু উবাদাহ, মু‘আয ইবনু জাবাল, উবাই ইবনু কা’ব, যাইদ ইবনু সাবিত (রাঃ) এবং আরও কয়েকজন। তখন শিশুটিকে রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর কাছে তুলে দেয়া হল।

তখন সে ছটফট করছিল। বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, আমার ধারণা যে, তিনি এ কথা বলেছিলেন, যেন তার শ্বাস মশকের মত (শব্দ হচ্ছিল)। আর নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর দু’ চক্ষু বেয়ে অশ্রু ঝরছিল।

সা’দ (রাঃ) বললেন, হে আল্লাহ্‌র রাসূল! একি? তিনি বললেনঃ এ হচ্ছে রহমত, যা আল্লাহ্ তাঁর বান্দার অন্তরে গচ্ছিত রেখেছেন। আর আল্লাহ্ তো তাঁর দয়ালু বান্দাদের প্রতিই দয়া করেন। (৫৬৫৫, ৬৬০২, ৬৬৫৫, ৭৩৭৭, ৭৪৪৮, মুসলিম ১১/৬, হাঃ ৯২৩, আহমাদ ২১৮৫৮)

ہم سے عبد ان اور محمد بن مقاتل نے بیان کیا ‘ انہوں نے کہا کہ ہمیں امام عبداللہ بن مبارک نے خبر دی ‘ کہا کہ ہم کو عاصم بن سلیمان نے خبر دی ‘ انہیں ابوعثمان عبدالرحمٰن نہدی نے ‘ کہا کہ مجھ سے اسامہ بن زید رضی اللہ عنہما نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی ایک صاحبزادی ( زینب رضی اللہ عنہا ) نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو اطلاع کرائی کہ میرا ایک لڑکا مرنے کے قریب ہے ‘ اس لیے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم تشریف لائیں۔

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے انہیں سلام کہلوایا اور کہلوایا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ ہی کا سارا مال ہے ‘ جو لے لیا وہ اسی کا تھا اور جو اس نے دیا وہ بھی اسی کا تھا اور ہر چیز اس کی بارگاہ سے وقت مقررہ پر ہی واقع ہوتی ہے۔ اس لیے صبر کرو اور اللہ تعالیٰ سے ثواب کی امید رکھو۔

پھر زینب رضی اللہ عنہا نے قسم دے کر اپنے یہاں بلوا بھیجا۔ اب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جانے کے لیے اٹھے۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ سعد بن عبادہ ‘ معاذ بن جبل ‘ ابی بن کعب ‘ زید بن ثابت اور بہت سے دوسرے صحابہ رضی اللہ عنہم بھی تھے۔ بچے کو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سامنے کیا گیا۔

جس کی جانکنی کا عالم تھا۔ ابوعثمان نے کہا کہ میرا خیال ہے کہ اسامہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے فرمایا کہ جیسے پرانا مشکیزہ ہوتا ہے ( اور پانی کے ٹکرانے کی اندر سے آواز ہوتی ہے۔ اسی طرح جانکنی کے وقت بچہ کے حلق سے آواز آ رہی تھی ) یہ دیکھ کر رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی آنکھوں سے آنسو بہ نکلے۔

سعد رضی اللہ عنہ بول اٹھے کہ یا رسول اللہ! یہ رونا کیسا ہے؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ یہ تو اللہ کی رحمت ہے کہ جسے اللہ تعالیٰ نے اپنے ( نیک ) بندوں کے دلوں میں رکھا ہے اور اللہ تعالیٰ بھی اپنے ان رحم دل بندوں پر رحم فرماتا ہے جو دوسروں پر رحم کرتے ہیں۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdan] dan [Muhammad] keduanya berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami ['Abdullah] telah mengabarkan kepada kami ['Ashim bin Sulaiman] dari [Abu 'Utsman] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada saya [Usamah bin Zaid radliallahu 'anhuma] berkata; Putri Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam datang untuk menemui Beliau dan mengabarkan bahwa; "Anakku telah meninggal, maka datanglah kepada kami".

Maka Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam memerintahkannya untuk menyampaikan salam lalu bersabda: "Sesungguhnya milik Allah apa yang diambilNya dan apa yang diberiNya. Dan segala sesuatu disisiNya sesudah ditentukan ajalnya, maka bersabarlah engkau karenanya dan mohonkanlah pahala darinya." Kemudian dia datang lagi kepada Beliau dan meminta dengan sangat agar Beliau bisa datang.

Maka Beliau berangkat, bersamanya ada Sa'ad bin 'Ubadah, Mu'adz bin Jabal, Ubay bin Ka'ab, Zaid bin Tsabit dan beberapa orang lain. Kemudian bayi tersebut diserahkan kepada Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam dan hati Beliau nampak berguncang (karena bersedih).

Aku menduga dia berkata,: Seakan dia seperti geriba yang kosong. Maka mengalirlah air mata Beliau. Sa'ad berkata,: "Wahai Rasulullah, mengapakah engkau menangis? Beliau berkata,: "Inilah rahmat yang Allah berikan kepada hati hamba-hambaNya dan sesungguhnya Allah akan merahmati diantara hamba-hambaNya mereka yang saling berkasih sayang

Usame İbn Zeyd r.a. şöyle demiştir: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in kızı (Zeynep r.anha) "Oğlum ölmek üzere, bize geliniz" diye Resulullah'a haber gönderdi. Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem kızına selam gönderip şöyle cevap yolladı: "Aldığı da verdiği de Allah'a aittir. Her şey'in Allah katında bir eceli vardır. Sabret!

Sabrının sevabını Allah'tan bekle." (Zeynep) and vererek Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in gelmesi için bir kez daha haber yolladı. Bunun üzerine Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem yanında Sa'd İbn Muaz, Muaz İbn Cebel, Ubey İbn Ka'b, Zeyd İbn Sabit ve başka kimseler bulunduğu halde (Zeyneb'in yanına) gitti. Çocuk (can çekişme halinde) çırpınırken Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e verildi.

Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)’in mubarek gözlerinden yaşlar boşalıyordu. Sa'd: "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Bu ağlama neyin nesi?" dîye sordu. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: Bu, Allah'ın kullarının kalplerine koyduğu rahmettir. Allah kullarından yalnızca merhamet sahibi olanlara merhamet eder. Tekrar:

Sahih al-Bukhari 1284, Book 23, Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz), Hadith 44. 1 min read

What it means

Usāmah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) recounts that one of the daughters of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sent him a message that her son was dying and asked that he comes over. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told the messenger to tell her to have patience and to hope for the reward from Allah; meaning that she should be patient with this calamity while expecting the reward for her patience from Allah.

Some people are patient but they do not hope for the reward. If they are patient and intend with their patience that Allah give them reward for it, then this is the meaning of Ihtisāb (expecting the reward from Allah). The Prophet's words "to Allah belongs what He takes and to Him belongs what He gives" is a great statement indeed.

If everything belongs to Allah, then if He takes something from you, it is His, and if He gives you something, it is also His. So, how could you be angry and discontent if He takes from you what is originally His? That is why it is an act of Sunnah that when a person is afflicted with calamity he should say: "To Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return!"

This expression clearly means that we are the property of Allah, Who thus can do what He wills with His property. Likewise are the things we love; if Allah takes them from us, they are ultimately His. So, He is the ultimate owner of what He takes and what He gives. Yo do not own what Allah gives you and, therefore, you cannot dispose of what He has given you except in the way He permitted.

Our ownership of what Allah gives us is limited, and we do not have absolute freedom in disposing of it. If this is the case, then how can we be impatient and intolerant when Allah, the absolute Owner, takes back what belongs to Him? This contradicts reason and text (the Quran and Sunnah). The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) added that everything has an appointed term with Allah; meaning that He has a fixed time limit for everything.

So, if you believe with certainty that to Allah belongs what He takes and to Him belongs what He gives and that He has fixed an appointed term for everything, you will be convinced without doubt that man cannot change the decreed term of anything, neither by advancing its time nor by delaying it. This conforms with the saying of Allah, the Exalted: {For every nation is a (specified) term.

When their time has come, then they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede (it)} [Sūrat Yunus: 49]. So if a matter is predetermined by Allah and will neither be advanced or delayed from its appointed time, there is no benefit in impatience and discontent. Even if you are impatient and discontent, you will not change any part of fate.

When the Prophet's daughter insisted that he goes to her, he went along with some of his Companions. He arrived when her child was in the throes of death. This made the eyes of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) filled with tears. Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubādah thought that the Prophet was crying out of impatience, so the Prophet told him that he cries out of mercy for the little dying boy, not out of impatience and discontent with fate.

Then he added that Allah is merciful to those of His slaves who are merciful to others. This Hadīth indicates the permissibility of crying out of mercy for those who are afflicted with misfortune.
