حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: اشْتَكَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ شَكْوَى لَهُ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، يَعُودُهُ، مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، وَسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَوَجَدَهُ فِي غَاشِيَةِ أَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ قَضَى ⦗١٨٤⦘ قَالُوا: لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَبَكَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؛ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَوْمُ بُكَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَكَوْا، فَقَالَ: أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ، إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ بِدَمْعِ الْعَيْنِ وَلَا بِحُزْنِ الْقَلْبِ، وَلكِنْ يُعَذِّبُ بِهذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ أَوْ يَرْحَمُ، وَإِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ.
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
Sa'd bin 'Ubâda became sick and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم along with 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Aûf, Sa'd bin Abî Waqqâs and 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ûd رضي الله عنهم visited him to enquire about his health. When he came to him, he found him surrounded by members of his household and he asked, "Has he died?" They said, "No, O Allâh's Messenger."The Prophet ﷺ wept and when the people saw the weeping of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, they all wept. He said, "Will you listen? Allâh does not punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the heart, but he punishes because of this or bestows His Mercy." He pointed to his tongue and added, "The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 391, Vol. 2)
