Translation: [ Weeping for a deceased is permissible. It is man's nature to weep in the case of the death of one of his sons or dear relatives. Islam does not forbid weeping because it is the religion that responds to man's nature in a moderate way.
Translation: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wept when Abraham, his son, died.
Translation: Narrated Anas ibn Malik: ' We went with Allah's Messenger to the blacksmith Abu-Sayf, and he was the husband of the wet nurse of Ibraheem (the son of the Prophet
Translation: ). Allah's Messenger took Ibraheem, kissed him, and smelled him. Later we entered Abu-Sayf's house and at that time Ibraheem was taking his last breaths, and the eyes of Allah's Messenger started shedding tears. Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf said: " O Allah's Messenger! Even you are weeping! " He said: “ O Ibn Awf! This is a mercy. ” Then he wept more and said: “ The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say except what pleases our Lord. O Ibraheem! Indeed we are grieved by your separation. " (Bukhari)
Translation: Islam forbids that a Muslim exaggerates when showing sadness by wailing, slapping the face, tearing the clothes, throwing dust on one's head, etc, are all strictly forbidden.
Thus, a Muslim should be moderate in all affairs. For extreme sadness as expressed by wailing and slapping the face never brings the dead person back.
Besides, a Muslim believes that everything is preordained and takes place in conformity with Allah's Will, which should be accepted with complete contentment.
And now, let us see what Imam Al-Nawawi compiled.]
Translation: 474. Abdullah ibn Omar: ' Sa'ad ibn Oba dah became sick and the Prophet along with Abdul-Rahmn ibn Awf, Sa'ad ibn Abu-Waqqas, and Abdullah ibn Mas'oud visited him to enquire about his health. When the Prophet came to him, he found him surrounded by his household. He asked: " Has he died? " They said: " No. O Allah's Messenger! " The Prophet wept and when the people saw Allah's Messenger ﷺ weeping they all wept. He said: “ Take note! Allah does not punish the shedding of tears or the grief of the heart, but he punishes because of this or bestows His Mercy. " He pointed to his tongue and added: " The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him. " (Bukhari)
Translation: 475. Narrated Osama ibn Zayd: ' The daughter of the Prophet ﷺ sent (a courier) to the Prophet requesting him to come as her child was dying. The Prophet ﷺ returned the courier and told him to convey his greeting to her saying: " Whatever Allah takes is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world) and so she should be patient and hope for Allah's reward. " She again sent for him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet got up, and so did Sa'ad ibn Obada, Mo'az ibn Jabal, Obayy ibn ka'ab, Zayd ibn Thabit, and some other men. The child was brought to Allah's Messenger while his breath was disturbed (the sub-narrator thinks that Osama added: ' As if it was a leather water skin. ') At that, the eyes of the Prophet ﷺ .started shedding tears Sa'ad said: " O Allah's Messenger! What is this? " He replied: " It is a mercy that Allah has lodged in the hearts of his servants, and Allah is Merciful only to those of His servants who are merciful (to others). " (Bukhari)
