Chapter: The Command to seek Reward and be Patient at the time of Calamity

٢٢
باب الأَمْرِ بِالاِحْتِسَابِ وَالصَّبْرِ عِنْدَ نُزُولِ الْمُصِيبَةِ ‏‏

Sunan an-Nasa'i 1869

Abu Uthman narrated that Usamah bin Zaid (رضي الله تعالى عنه) told him that the daughter of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) sent word to him telling him, son of mine is dying, come to us. He sent word to her, conveying his greeting of salam and saying, ‘to Allah belongs that which He takes and that which He gives, and everything has an appointed time with Allah. Let her be patient and seek reward.’ She sent word to him adjuring him to go to her. So he got up and went, accompanied by Sa'd bin Ubadah, Muadh bin Jabal, Ubayy bin Kab Zaid bin Thabit and some other men (رضي الله تعالى عنهم اجمعين). The boy was lifted to the Apostle of Allah ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), with the death rattle sounding in him, and his eyes filled with tears. Sa'd (رضي الله تعالى عنه) said, O Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), what is this? He said, ‘this is compassion which Allah has created in the hearts of His servants. Allah has mercy on His compassionate servants’.

انس رضی الله عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: صبر وہی ہے جو صدمہ ( غم ) پہنچتے ہی ہو ۔

Ins (رضي الله تعالى عنه) kehte hain ke Rasool Allah Salla Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam ne farmaya: Sabr wahi hai jo sadma (gham) pahunchte hi ho 1؎.

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الأُولَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏
