Weeping is a mercy which allâh puts in the hearts of his servants.On the authority of usâmah ibn zayd (ra) who said:we were with the prophet (saw) when one of his daughters send a messenger calling for him, informing him that her small child or her son was dying. So the prophet (saw) told the messenger: return to her and inform her that whatever allâh takes and gives belongs to him and that everything has an appointed term, so let her be patient and anticipate allâhs reward in the hereafter. Later the messenger returned to the prophet (saw) and said, verily she has sworn by allâh that you come to her. so the prophet (saw) got up and so too did saad ibn ubâdah and muâdh ibn jabal, and I too went with them. The small boy was lifted up to the prophet (saw) and let out a groaning noise, as if he was breathing his last breath. Thereby the prophets eyes (saw) overflowed with tears. upon this sad asked: what is this, o messenger of allâh? he (saw) replied: this is a mercy which allâh puts in the hearts of his servants. And verily Allah shows mercy to those of his servants who are merciful (al bukhârî, muslim)
