لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ طَاهِرُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ خَدِيجَةَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ فَقَالَتْ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ لَكِنْ دَرَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الدُّرَيْرَةُ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ تَجِدِيهِ قَائِماً عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا رَآكِ أَخَذَ بِيَدِكِ فَأَدْخَلَكِ الْجَنَّةَ أَطْهَرَهَا مَكَاناً وَ أَطْيَبَهَا قَالَتْ وَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعَزُّ وَ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْلُبَ عَبْداً ثَمَرَةَ فُؤَادِهِ فَيَصْبِرَ وَ يَحْتَسِبَ وَ يَحْمَدَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ثُمَّ يُعَذِّبَهُ .


Translation

From him, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When Tahir<sup>as</sup> son<sup>as</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> passed away, Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> forbade Syeda Khadeeja<sup>as</sup> from the wailing. So she<sup>as</sup> said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, but the milk is flowing over him<sup>as</sup>’, and she cried. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Would you not be pleased when you<sup>as</sup> find him<sup>as</sup> standing upon the door of the Paradise, and when he<sup>as</sup> sees you<sup>as</sup>, he<sup>as</sup> would grab your<sup>as</sup> hand and enter you<sup>as</sup> into the Paradise, the most pure and aromatic of its places?’ She<sup>as</sup> said: ‘And it would be like that?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is more Honourable and more Benevolent than for Him<sup>azwj</sup> to Confiscate from a servant the fruit of his heart, and he observes patience, and accepts it, and praises Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, then He<sup>azwj</sup> were to Punish him’.
