Sahih al-Bukhari 6361 (Book 82, Hadith 8)
there came to him a messenger from one of his daughters, telling him that her child was on the verge
of death. The Prophet (ﷺ) told the messenger to tell her, “It is for Allah what He takes, and it is for Allah
what He gives, and everything has its fixed time (limit). So (she should) be patient and look for
Allah’s reward.”
“ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ، وَلِلَّهِ مَا أَعْطَى، كُلٌّ بِأَجَلٍ، فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ ”.

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
