Healing After Child Loss - Belal Assad

Transcript

00:00One man used to come to the Prophet ﷺ, one of the companions and he had a seven or eight-year-old son.

00:04This seven, eight-year-old son was called Hamamatul Masjid, Pigeon of the Mosque.

00:08Always there, everybody saw him fluttering into the mosque, flying into the mosque.

00:11And all the companions would love him while the Prophet ﷺ was speaking.

00:14One day, the man didn't arrive and Prophet ﷺ said,

00:16where is that man? The companion comes,

00:18said, oh, didn't you hear, Ya Rasulullah, his son passed away.

00:22Rasul ﷺ ran, went to his house, put his hand on his shoulder and said,

00:25which one would you prefer?

00:26That your son lives on and you get to see him and enjoy him growing up until you and him die,

00:31or that now there isn't a door of paradise that you reach,

00:36except that you find your son waiting for you at that door.

00:39Any door.

00:40And he's looking for his dad, looking for his mum.

00:42Which door will they go from?

00:43Hopping from one to the other.

00:44The angels help him and he doesn't want to enter paradise without them.

00:47And because of him, you enter.

00:48He said, Ya Rasulullah, the latter.

00:50I'd rather that one.

00:51He said, it is yours.

00:52Didn't tell him, heal yourself and get over it.

00:55Look forward to something greater.

00:56Have hope.
