Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: Exhort to recite There is no god but Allah to those of you who are dying.

This hadith has been narrated by Sulaiman bin Bilal with the same chain of transmitters.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: Exhort to recite There is no god but Allah to those of you who are dying.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: If any Muslim who suffers some calamity says, what Allah has commanded him, We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it, Allah will give him something better than it in exchange. When Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا died she said: What Muslim is better than Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ whose family was the first to emigrate to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). I then said the words, and Allah gave me God's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) in exchange. She said: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) sent Hatib bin Abu Balta'a رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ to deliver me the message of marriage with him. I said to him: I have a daughter (as my dependant) and I am of jealous temperament. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So far as her daughter is concerned, we would supplicate Allah, that He may free her (of her responsibility) and I would also supplicate Allah to do away with (her) jealous (temperament).

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: If any servant (of Allah) who suffers a calamity says: We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it, ' Allah will give him reward for affliction, and would give him something better than it in exchange. She (Umm Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا ) said: When Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ died. I uttered (these very words) as I was commanded (to do) by the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌). So Allah gave me better in exchange than him. i. e. (I was taken as the wife of) the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌).

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) saying like the hadith transmitted by Abu Usama, but with this addition that she said: When Abu Salama died I said: Who is better than Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ , the Companion of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌), and Allah decided for me and I said (these words contained in the supplication mentioned above) and I was married to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ).

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: Whenever you visit the sick or the dead, supplicate for good because angels say Amen to whatever you say. She added: When Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ died, I went to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Salama has died. He told me to recite: O Allah! forgive me and him (Abu Salama) and give me a better substitute than he. So I said (this), and Allah gave me in exchange Muhammad, who is better for me than him (Abu Salama).

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ (as he died). His eyes were fixedly open. He closed them, and then said: When the soul is taken away the sight follows it. Some of the people of his family wept and wailed. So he said: Do not supplicate for yourselves anything but good, for angels say Amen to what you say. He then said: O Allah, forgive Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ , raise his degree among those who are rightly guided, grant him a successor in his descendants who remain. Forgive us and him, O Lord of the Universe, and make his grave spacious, and grant him light in it.

(O Allah! ) let Thee be the caretaker of what is left by him, and he said: Grant him expansion of the grave, but he did not say: Make his grave spacious. Khalid said: He supplicated for the seventh (thing too) which I have forgotten.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: Did you not see when the man died and his eyes were fixedly open? He (Abu Huraira) said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is due to the fact that when (the soul leaves the body) his eyesight follows the soul.

This hadith is narrated on the authority of 'Ala' with the same chain of transmitters.

When Abu Salama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ died I said: I am a stranger in a strange land; I shall weep for him in a manner that would be talked of. I made preparation for weeping for him when a woman from the upper side of the city came there who intended to help me (in weeping). She happened to come across the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and he said: Do you intend to bring the devil into a house from which Allah has twice driven him out? I (Umm Salama), therefore, refrained from weeping and I did not weep.

While we were with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌), one of his daughters sent to him (the Messenger) to call him and inform him that her child or her son was dying. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) told the messenger to go back and tell her that what Allah had taken belonged to Him, and to him belonged what He granted; and He has an appointed time for everything. So you (the messenger) order her to show endurance and seek reward from Allah. The messenger came back and said: She adjures him to come to her. He got up to go accompanied by Sa'd bin 'Ubada رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ , Mu'adh bin Jabal رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ , and I also went along with them. The child was lifted to him and his soul was feeling as restless as if it was in an old (waterskin). His (Prophet's) eyes welled up with tears. Sa'd رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: What is this, Messenger of Allah? He replied: This is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and God shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.

This hadith has been narrated by another chain of transmitters on the authority of 'Asim al-Ahwal.

Sa'd bin Ubada رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ complained of illness. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to visit him accompanied by 'Abdul-Rahman bin 'Auf رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ , Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ and 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ . As he entered (his room) he found him in a swoon. Upon this he said: Has he died? They said: Messenger of Allah, it is not so. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) wept. When the people saw Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) weeping, they also began to weep. He said. Listen, Allah does not punish for the tears that the eye sheds or the grief the heart feels, but He punishes for this (pointing to his tongue), or He may show mercy.

While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), a person, one of the Ansar, came to him and greeted him. The Ansari then turned back. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: o brother of Ansar, how is my brother Sa'd be 'Ubada رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ? He said: He is better. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Who amongst you would visit him? He (the Holy Prophet) stood up and we also got up along with him, and we were more than ten persons. We had neither shoes with us, nor socks, nor caps, nor shirts. We walked on the barren land till we came to him. The people around him kept away till the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and his Companions with him came near him (Sa'd bin 'Ubada).

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: Endurance is to be shown at the first blow.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to a woman who had been weeping for her (dead) child, and said to her: Fear Allah and show endurance. She (not recognising him) said: You have not been afflicted as I have been. When he (the Holy Prophet) had departed, it was said to her that he was the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), she was mortally shocked. She came to his door and she did not find doorkeepers at his door. She said: Messenger of Allah. I did not recognise you. He said: Endurance is to be shown at first blow, or at the first blow.

The Apostle of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) happened to pass by a woman (who was sitting) by the side of a grave.

Hafsa رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا wept for 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ (when he was about to die). He ('Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ) said: Be quiet, my daughter. Don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had said: The deceased is punished because of his family's weeping over the death ?

Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: The dead is punished in the grave because of wailing on it.

"The decreased is tormented in his grave because of wailing for him."

When 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ was wounded he fainted, and there was a loud lamentation over him. When he regained consciousness he said: Didn't you know that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: The dead is punished because of the weeping of the living ?

When 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ was wounded Suhaib رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ uttered (loudly in lamentation): O brother! Upon this 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: Suhaib, did you not know that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living ?

When 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ was wounded, there came Suhaib رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ from his house and went to 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ and stood by his side, and began to wail. Upon this 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: What are you weeping for? Are you weeping for me? He said: By Allah, it is for you that I weep, O Commander of the believers. He said: By Allah, you already know that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had said: He who is lamented upon is punished. I made a mention of it to Musa b. Talha, and he said that 'A'isha رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا told that it concerned the Jews (only).
