Riyad as-Salihin, 28

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

When the last illness of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made him unconscious, Fatimah (May Allah be pleased with her) exclaimed: "Ah, the distress of my dear father." He (ﷺ) said, "There will be no distress for your father after today". When he died she said: "My father, Allah has called you back and you have responded to His Call. O father! Garden of Firdaus is your abode. O father! We announce to Jibril your death." When he was buried, she said: "Are you satisfied now that you put earth over (the grave of) Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?" [Al- Bukhari]

وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ لما ثقل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جعل يتغشاه الكرب فقالت فاطمة رضي الله عنها‏:‏ واكرب أبتاه‏.‏ فقال ‏:‏ ‏

‏ليس على أبيك كرب بعد اليوم‏

‏ فلما مات قالت ‏:‏ يا أبتاه أجاب رباً دعاه، يا أبتاه جنة الفردوس مأواه، يا أبتاه إلى جبريل ننعاه، فلما دفن قالت ‏:‏ فاطمة رضي الله عنها‏:‏ أطابت أنفسكم أن تحثوا على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم التراب‏؟‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) like other human beings; suffered from illnesses, hunger, and thirst. Therefore, it is impermissible to seek his help after his death, which some ignorant people do. May Allah guide them to achieve Tawhid and sincerity for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. 2) There is no harm in slight lamentation as long as it is not caused by discontentment with the decree of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, but rather by overwhelming sadness. 3) It encourages adherence to patience in the face of adversities and refraining from discontent.
