Musnad Ahmad 2412
gradedIt was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to one of his daughters when she was dying, and he held her in his lap until she died. Then his eyes filled with tears and Umm Aiman wept. It was said to her: Are you weeping in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? She said: Why shouldn't I weep when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is weeping? He said: "I did not weep; this is compassion. Verily, the believer's soul departs from his body whilst he is praising Allah, may He be glorified and exalted."
