Endurance and divine recompense in grief

2178. hadíth

يَا أَشْعَثُ، ابْنُكَ سَرَّكَ وَهُوَ بَلاَءٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ، وَحَزَنَكَ وَهُوَ ثَوَابٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ.

O’ Ash‘ath, your son (when he lived) gave you happiness while, at the same time, he was a trial and hardship and (when he died) he grieved you while, at the same time, he has proved a source of reward and mercy for you.
