Chapter 80 | Suffering Due to the Death of a Son
7ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ طَاهِرُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) نَهَى رَسُولُ الله خَدِيجَةَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ فَقَالَتْ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ الله وَلَكِنْ دَرَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الدُّرَيْرَةُ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ تَجِدِيهِ قَائِماً عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا رَآكِ أَخَذَ بِيَدِكِ فَأَدْخَلَكِ الْجَنَّةَ أَطْهَرَهَا مَكَاناً وَأَطْيَبَهَا قَالَتْ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الله أَعَزُّ وَأَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْلُبَ عَبْداً ثَمَرَةَ فُؤَادِهِ فَيَصْبِرَ وَيَحْتَسِبَ وَيَحْمَدَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ يُعَذِّبَهُ.
7. It is narrated from him (narrator of above Hadith) from Isma’il ibn Mehran from ‘Amr ibn Shimr from Jabir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far , has said, ‘When Tahir son of the Messenger of Allah passed away, the Messenger of Allah forbade Khadijah from weeping. She said, ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I agree, but I noticed that my milk flowed out; thus I wept.’ He then said, ‘Would you not agree if you find him standing near the door of paradise and on seeing you, hold your hand and lead you into paradise to the most clean and fine ones therein?’ She then said, ‘Is that how it is?’ He said, ‘Allah is Most Majestic and Honorable. He does not take away the fruits of the heart of (His own) servant who exercises patience, praises Him and agrees with His decision. Allah due to His Glory and Honor does not cause him any suffering.’”
