”By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you knew what I knew, you would laugh little and weep often”

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to his companions while they were laughing and talking. The Prophet said:

وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا

By the one in whose hand is my soul, if you knew what I knew, you would laugh little and weep often.

The Prophet departed and people started weeping, so Allah Almighty revealed to him:

يَا مُحَمَّدُ لِمَ تُقَنِّطُ عِبَادِي

O Muhammad, why have you made my servants despair?

The Prophet returned and he said:

أَبْشِرُوا وَسَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا

Give glad tidings, follow the right course, and seek nearness to Allah.
