وَعَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: أرسلت إحدي بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وسلمى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إليه تَدْعُوهُ وَتُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ صَبِيًّا لَهَا -أَوِ ابْنًا- فِي الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لِلرَّسُولِ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخْبِرْهَا أن لِلَّهِ تعالي مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى، وَكُلٌّ شئ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى، فَمُرْهَا، فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ” وذكر تمام الحديث" ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)) .
Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) sent a message to him that her son was at his last breath, and requested him to come to her. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent back the informer saying: "To Allah belongs what He takes and what He gives, and everything has a limited period (in this world). So ask her to endure patiently, and expect the reward of Allah." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
