A man once came to al-Ḥasan al-Baṣri expressinghis sorrow at the loss
of hisson. Al-Ḥasan said to him, "Did your son ever travel,
leaving you behind?" The man said: "Yes, he would travel more than
actually being around (at home)." At this al-Ḥasan said to him, "Then
considerhim traveling , because he'snever left you alone in a time
in which your reward was greater than it is now."
The man said, "Abu Sa'īd, you've lessened the sorrowof my son's departure."
Let this be a comfort to all those who have lost someone, whoever that
person maybe. May Allah jalla wa 'ala bless us all with patience and
understanding, and grant our deceased ones the very
best of Jannah without questioning. Ameen.
