حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ الأَحْوَلُ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ

أَنَّ ابْنَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَسَعْدٌ وَأُبَىٌّ أَنَّ ابْنِي قَدِ احْتُضِرَ فَاشْهَدْنَا. فَأَرْسَلَ يَقْرَأُ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولُ: «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَمَا أَعْطَى وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ عِنْدَهُ مُسَمًّى فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَتَحْتَسِبْ».

فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ رُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَقْعَدَهُ فِي حَجْرِهِ وَنَفْسُ الصَّبِيِّ تَقَعْقَعُ، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ مَا هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «هَذَا رَحْمَةٌ يَضَعُهَا اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ»

Once a daughter of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent a message to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while Usamah, Sad, and my father or Ubai were (sitting there) with him.

She said, (in the message); My child is going to die; please come to us. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) returned the messenger and told him to convey his greetings 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): so she should be patient and hope for Allah’s reward.”

Then she again sent for him swearing that he should come; so The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) started shedding tears.

Sad said, “What is this, O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)?” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “This is the mercy which Allah has lodged in the hearts of whoever He wants of His slaves, and verily Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others).”

উসামাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। একবার উসামাহ ইবনু যায়দ, সা‘দ ও ‘উবাই (রাঃ) নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সঙ্গে উপবিষ্ট ছিলেন। এমন সময় নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর এক কন্যা তাঁর কাছে খবর পাঠালেন যে, আমার পুত্র মুমূর্ষু অবস্থায় আছে। কাজেই তিনি যেন আমাদের নিকট আসেন। তিনি সালামের সঙ্গে এ কথা বলে পাঠালেন যে, আল্লাহ্ যা দান করেন আর যা নিয়ে নেন সব কিছুই আল্লাহর জন্য।

আর সব কিছুই আল্লাহর নিকট নির্ধারিত আছে। অতএব তুমি ধৈর্য ধারণ কর এবং সাওয়াবের আশা কর। এরপর তাঁর কন্যা কসম দিয়ে আবার খবর পাঠালেন। এতে রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যাওয়ার জন্য দাঁড়ালেন। আমরাও তাঁর সঙ্গে দাঁড়ালাম। (সেখানে গিয়ে) তিনি যখন বসলেন, শিশুটিকে তাঁর সামনে আনা হল। তিনি তাকে নিজের কোলে নিয়ে বসালেন, আর শিশুটির শ্বাস নিঃশেষ হয়ে আসছিল।

এতে রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর দু’চোখ অশ্রু প্রবাহিত করল। তখন সা‘দ বললেন, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! এ কী ব্যাপার? তিনি বললেনঃ এ হল রহমত, যা আল্লাহ্ তাঁর বান্দাদের যাকে ইচ্ছা তার মনের ভিতরে দিয়ে থাকেন। আর আল্লাহ্ কেবলমাত্র তাঁর দয়ালু বান্দাদের ওপরই দয়া করে থাকেন।[1] [১২৮৪]

ہم سے حفص بن عمر نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے شعبہ نے، کہا ہم کو عاصم الاحول نے خبر دی، کہا میں نے ابوعثمان سے سنا، وہ اسامہ سے نقل کرتے تھے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی ایک صاحبزادی ( زینب ) نے آپ کو بلا بھیجا اس وقت آپ کے پاس اسامہ بن زید اور سعد بن عبادہ اور ابی بن کعب رضی اللہ عنہم بھی بیٹھے تھے۔

صاحبزادی صاحبہ نے کہلا بھیجا کہ ان کا بچہ مرنے کے قریب ہے آپ تشریف لائیے۔ آپ نے ان کے جواب میں یوں کہلا بھیجا میرا سلام کہو اور کہو سب اللہ کا مال ہے جو اس نے لے لیا اور جو اس نے عنایت فرمایا اور ہر چیز کا اس کے پاس وقت مقرر ہے، صبر کرو اور اللہ سے ثواب کی امید رکھو۔

صاحبزادی صاحبہ نے قسم دے کر پھر کہلا بھیجا کہ نہیں آپ ضرور تشریف لائیے۔ اس وقت آپ اٹھے، ہم لوگ بھی ساتھ اٹھے جب آپ صاحبزادی صاحبہ کے گھر پر پہنچے اور وہاں جا کر بیٹھے تو بچے کو اٹھا کر آپ کے پاس لائے۔ آپ نے اسے گود میں بٹھا لیا وہ دم توڑ رہا تھا۔

یہ حال پرملال دیکھ کر آپ کی آنکھوں سے آنسو بہہ نکلے۔ سعد بن عبادہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے عرض کیا: یا رسول اللہ! یہ رونا کیسا ہے؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ یہ رونا رحم کی وجہ سے ہے اور اللہ اپنے جس بندے کے دل میں چاہتا ہے رحم رکھتا ہے یا یہ ہے کہ اللہ اپنے ان ہی بندوں پر رحم کرے گا جو دوسروں پر رحم کرتے ہیں۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hafsh bin Umar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] Telah mengabarkan kepada kami ['Ashim Al Ahwal] aku mendengar [Abu 'Utsman] menceritakan dari [Usamah], bahwa puteri Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam (Zaenab) mengutus utusan untuk menemui Rasulullah, yang ketika itu Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam bersama Usamah bin Zaid, Sa'd, dan Ubai.

Sang utusan menyampaikan pesan yang isinya; 'Anak laki-lakiku telah menghadapi saat-saat kematian, maka kunjungilah kami'. Nabi kemudian mengutus seseorang, menyampaikan salam dan mengatakan; "Milik Allah sematalah segala yang diambil-Nya dan yang diberikan-Nya, dan segala sesuatu disisi-Nya ada ketentuan ajal tersendiri, maka suruhlah dia untuk bersabar dan mengharap pahala."

Lantas puteri Nabi mengutus utusan untuk kedua kalinya, dan puteri beliau menyertakan sumpah. Maka beliau berdiri dan kami pun berdiri bersamanya. Tatkala beliau sampai (dan beliau) telah duduk, anak laki-laki dari puteri beliau (cucunya) diangkat kepada beliau, dan beliau mendudukkan di pangkuannya, ketika itu cucu beliau nafasnya sudah tersengal-sengal.

Kedua mata Rasulullah pun bercucuran. Maka Sa'd bertanya: 'Mengapa mata anda sampai bercucuran?" Nabi menjawab; "ini adalah tanda kasih sayang yang Allah letakkan di hati hamba-Nya yang dikehendaki-Nya, hanyasanya Allah menyayangi hamba-Nya yang berhati penyayang

Usame'den şöyle rivayet edilmiştir: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in kızlarından biri Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e oğlunun can çekiştiği haberini gönderdi. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in yanlarına gelmesini istedi. O sırada Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in yanında Usame İbn Zeyd, Said ve babam ya da Ubeyy vardı.

Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, Kızına selam göndererek şöyle haber yolladı: "Alan da veren de Allah'tır. Onun katında her şey yazılıdır. Sabretsin ve sevabını Allah'tan beklesin." Ancak kızı yemin ile tekrar haber gönderdi. Bunun üzerine Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem kalktı, biz de onunla beraber kalktık. Oraya varıp oturunca çocuk yanına getirildi, Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem çocuğu kucağına oturttu.

Çocuk zorlukla nefes alıp veriyordu. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in gözleri doldu. Sa'd: "Neler oluyor ey Allah'ın elçisi" dedi. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Bu, Allah'ın dilediği kullarının kalbine yerleştirdiği merhamet duygusudur. Allah merhametli kullarına rahmet eder

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.
