Sunan Abi Dawud 3125 (Book 21, Hadith 37) #23415
Compassion of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah has appointed time for everything and He shows compassion to those who are compassionate.

Narrated Usamah b. Zaid: A daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him message while I and Sa'd were with him and I think Ubayy was also there: My son or daughter (the narrator is doubtful) is dying, so come to us. He sent her greeting, saying at the same time: Say! What Allah has been taken belongs to Him, what He has given (belongs to Him), and He has appointed time for everything. She then sent a message adjuring him (to come to her). So he came to her and the child who was on the point of death was placed in the hearts of those whom He wished. Allah shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ، ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ وَسَعْدٌ وَأَحْسِبُ أُبَيًّا أَنَّ ابْنِي أَوْ بِنْتِي قَدْ حُضِرَ فَاشْهَدْنَا ‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلَ يُقْرِئُ السَّلاَمَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قُلْ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَمَا أَعْطَى وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ عِنْدَهُ إِلَى أَجَلٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلَتْ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَاهَا فَوُضِعَ الصَّبِيُّ فِي حِجْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَفْسُهُ تَقَعْقَعُ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ مَا هَذَا قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهَا رَحْمَةٌ وَضَعَهَا اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the compassion of Allah and how He shows it to His servants. It was narrated by Usamah b. Zaid that a daughter of the Messenger of Allah sent him a message while he was with Sa'd and Ubayy, saying that her son or daughter was dying and asked him to come to them. The Prophet sent her greetings and said “What Allah has taken belongs to Him, what He has given belongs to Him, and He has appointed time for everything”. She then adjured him again so he came to her house where the child who was on the point of death was placed in the hearts of those whom He wished. The Prophet then said “Allah shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate” which means that if we want God's mercy upon us we must be merciful ourselves first towards others in our lives such as family members, friends or even strangers.
