The Weeping Of Sayyidina Rasoolullah

'Abdullah ibn ash-Shikh-khir reported that his father said: "I came to Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) while he was performing the ritual prayer, and his inner body was producing a humming sound like the humming of the cauldron due to his weeping.”

'Abdu’llah ibn Mas'ud said (may Allah be well pleased with him): “Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) told me: ‘Recite the Qur’an to me,’ so I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, shall I recite the Qur’an to you when it was to you that it was revealed?’ He said: ‘I like to hear it from someone other than myself,’ so I recited the Sura of the Women ' (Al-Qur'an; 4:41). Then I saw the eyes of Allah’s Messenger bathed in tears.”

'Abdullah ibn ‘Uamr said: "The sun was eclipsed one day in the era of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), so Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) stood performing the ritual prayer, until he could hardly bow down, then he bowed down and could hardly raise his head, then he raised his head and could hardly prostrate himself, then he prostrated himself and could hardly raise his head, so he began to gasp and weep, saying: 'O my Lord, have You not promised me that You will not torment them while I am among them? O my Lord, have You not promised me that You will not torment them while they and we are appealing to You for forgiveness?' Then, once he had performed two cycles of ritual prayer, the sun became visible, so he stood up, praised Allah (Exalted is He) and extolled Him. Then he said: 'The sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah. They are not eclipsed because of someone’s death, nor because of his coming to life, so when they are eclipsed, you must seek refuge in the remembrance of Allah (Exalted is He)!'”

Ibn Abbas said: “Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) took hold of a daughter of his who was dying, then embraced her and she died in his arms. Umm Aiman cried, so he, meaning the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), said: 'Are you weeping in the presence of Allah’s Messenger?’ She replied: 'Am I not seeing you weep?’ He said: 'I am not weeping. It is actually a mercy. The believer has every benefit in every situation. His soul is removed within him as he praises Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He)!'”

'A’isha said (may Allah be well pleased with her): “Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) kissed 'Uthman ibn Maz'un when he was dead, and he was weeping." (or: “his eyes were shedding tears”).”

Anas ibn Malik said: “We saw Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), sitting on the tomb of a daughter of his, and I saw his eyes shedding tears. Then he said: 'Is there any man among you who has not had intercourse with his wife tonight?’ Abu Talha said: ‘I haven't!’ He told him: ‘Come down,’ so he came down into her tomb.”
