On the authority of Anas, who said: ‘Aboo Bakr said to ‘Umar, after the death of the Messenger of Allaah sal’Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: “Let us go visit Umm Ayman, as the Messenger of Allaah sal’Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to visit her.” When they finished visiting her (and were about to leave) she began to cry. So they asked her: “What is it that makes you cry? Is not that which is with Allaah better for the Messenger of Allaah sal’Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam?” So she replied: I am not crying because I am not aware that that which is with Allaah is better for the Messenger of Allaah sal’Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, but I am crying because the revelation from the heavens has stopped.” This moved them to tears, so they both began to weep with her.’

Wa iyaakum.
Allahumma Ameen.
Yes, mashaAllah, she is indeed an example to follow. SubhaanAllah, the attachment she had formed with the Speech of Allah, such that whilst others were pondering over the death of Prophet salAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam in itself, rather, she was concerned that the revelation had stopped, and that this meant the cessation of the direct word of Allah ‘azza wa jall.
SubhaanAllah, may Allah ta’ala make us of those whose hearts are attached to the Qur’aan, of those who find tranquility in it, comfort in it, and guidance in it, such that we act upon it with our limbs. Ameen.
Wa Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu
