It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "When a young daughter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was dying, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) picked her up and held her to his chest, then he put his hand on her, and she died in front of the Messenger of Allah. Umm Ayman wept and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said 'Oh Umm Ayman, do you weep while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is with you?' She said: 'Why shouldn't I weep when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is weeping." So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said "Verily, I am not weeping. Rather it is compassion.' Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The believer is fine whatever the situation; even when his soul is being pulled from his body and he praises Allah, the Mighty and Sublime"'

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ، بَكَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ مَاتَ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَتَاهُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ نَنْعَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ .
