VISIT TO UMM AIMAN

361

“After the death of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, Abu Bakr said to Omar, ‘Come, let us go and visit Umm Aiman because the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, used to visit her.’ When they arrived she started to weep, so they asked: ‘Why are you crying? Don't you know that which Allah has is better for the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him?" She answered: ‘Indeed, I know that which Allah has is better for the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, I cry because the Revelation has stopped coming down from the heaven.’ This moved the two and they began to cry with her.”

Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related this.
