عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عاد سعد بن عباده ومعه عبد الرحمن بن عوف، وسعد بن أبي وقاص، وعبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنهم، فبكي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فلما رأي القوم بكاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، بكوا ؛ فقال‏:‏ “ألا تسمعون‏؟‏ إن الله لا يعذب بدمع العين، ولا بحزن القلب، ولكن بهذا أو يرحم‏"‏ وأشار إلا لسانه‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported

A grandson (child of the daughter) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was presented to him while the child was at his last breath. Tears began to flow from the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Sa'd said to him: "What is this, O Messenger of Allah?" He (ﷺ) said, "It is mercy which Allah has placed in the hearts of his salves. Allah bestows His Mercy on the merciful among His slaves."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
