The daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) sent (a Messenger (ﷺ)) to the Prophet (ﷺ) requesting him to come as her child was dying (or was gasping), but the Prophet (ﷺ) returned the Messenger (ﷺ) and told him to convey his greeting to her and say: " Whatever Allâh 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 Allâh's Reward." She again sent for him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet (ﷺ) got up, and so did Sa'd bin ' Ubâda, bin Jabal, Ubaî bin Ka'b, Zaid bin Thâbit and some other men. The child was brought to Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) while his breath was disturbed in his chest (the subnarrator thinks that Usâma added:) as if it was a leather water-skin. On that the eyes of the Prophet (ﷺ) started shedding tears. Sa'd said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) what is this?" He replied, It is mercy which Allâh has lodged in the heart of His slaves, and Allâh is Merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others)." [2:373-O.B.]
