حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْکِلَابِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعُمَرَ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَی أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ نَزُورُهَا کَمَا کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَزُورُهَا فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهَا بَکَتْ فَقَالَا لَهَا مَا يُبْکِيکِ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِرَسُولِهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ مَا أَبْکِي أَنْ لَا أَکُونَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِرَسُولِهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَکِنْ أَبْکِي أَنَّ الْوَحْيَ قَدْ انْقَطَعَ مِنْ السَّمَائِ فَهَيَّجَتْهُمَا عَلَی الْبُکَائِ فَجَعَلَا يَبْکِيَانِ مَعَهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6318
Anas reported that after the death of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) Abu Bakr said to 'Umar: Let us visit Umm Aiman as Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to visit her. As we came to her, she wept. They (Abu Bakr and Umar) said to her: What makes you weep? What is in store (in the next world) for Allah's-Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) is better than (this worldly life). She said: I weep not because I am ignorant of the fact that what is in store for Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (in the next world) is better than (this world), but I weep because the revelation which came from the Heaven has ceased to come. This moved both of them to tears and they began to weep along with her.
