Today I read a story that made me to remember my son.
Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon
—
Al-Tirmidhi (942) narrated that Abu Sinaan (RA) said :
I buried my son Sinaan and Abu Talhah al-Khoolaani was sitting at the graveside. When I wanted to go out he took my hand and said, “Shall I not give you some glad tidings, O Abu Sinaan ?”
I said, “Yes.”
He said, “Al-Dahhaak ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Arzab narrated to me from Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said :
“When a person’s child dies, Allaah says to His angels, ‘You have taken the child of My slave.’
They say, ‘Yes.’
He says, ‘You have taken the apple of his eye.’
They say, ‘Yes.’
He says, ‘What did My slave say ?’
They say, ‘He praised you and said “Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon (Verily to Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return).’
Allaah says, ‘Build for My slave a house in Paradise and call it the house of praise.’”
