Anas ibn Malik reported: We entered the house of Abu Sayf along with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who was the husband of Ibrahim’s wet-nurse, upon him be peace. The Prophet took hold of Ibrahim, kissed him, and smelled him. Then, we entered as Ibrahim was breathing his last breaths. It made the eyes of the Prophet shed tears. ‘Abdur Rahman ibn Awf said, “Even you, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “O son of Awf, this is mercy.” Then, the Prophet wept some more, saying, “Verily, the eyes shed tears and the heart is grieved, yet we will not say anything but what is pleasing to our Lord. We are saddened by your departure, O Ibrahim!”
