Sahih Muslim 2315 (Book 43, Hadith 83) #13108
Grief of Loss: A Hadith on Patience

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) visiting a blacksmith and his wife, Umm Saif, who had just given birth to a child. The Prophet (PBUH) named the child Ibrahim and sadly, he passed away in the presence of the Prophet (PBUH).

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: A child was born into me this night and I named him after the name of my father Ibrihim. He then sent him to Umm Saif, the wife of a blacksmith who was called Abu Saif. He (the Holy Prophet) went to him and I followed him until we reached Abu Saif and he was blowing fire with the help of blacksmith's bellows and the house was filled with smoke. I hastened my step and went ahead of Allah's Messenger ﷺ and said: Abu Saif, stop it, as there comes Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him). He stopped and Allah's Apostle ﷺ called for the child. He embraced him and said what Allah had desired. Anas said: I saw that the boy breathed his last in the presence of Allah's Messenger ﷺ. The eyes of Allah's Messenger ﷺ shed tears and he said: Ibrahim, our eyes shed tears and our hearts are filled with grief, but we do not say anything except that by which Allah is pleased. O Ibrahim, we are grieved for you.
