Sahih al-Bukhari 1261 (Book 23, Hadith 61)
wet-nurse of Ibrahim (the son of the Prophet). Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) took Ibrahim and kissed him and
smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif’s house and at that time Ibrahim was in his last breaths, and
the eyes of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) started shedding tears. `Abdur Rahman bin `Auf said, “O Allah’s
Apostle, even you are weeping!” He said, “O Ibn `Auf, this is 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 Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation.”
