"I am not weeping because I do not know that what Allah holds is better for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), but I weep because the revelation from the sky has stopped." Her words moved them to tears and they began to weep along with her

عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: قَال أَبُو بَكر لِعُمَر رضي الله عنهما بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : انْطَلِق بِنَا إِلَى أُمِّ أَيمَنَ -رَضِي الله عنها- نَزُورُهَا كَمَا كَانَ رَسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يَزُورُها، فَلَمَّا انتَهَيَا إِلَيهَا، بَكَت، فَقَالاَ لَهَا: مَا يُبكِيك؟ أَمَا تَعْلَمِين أَنَّ ما عِنْد الله خَيرٌ لِرَسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟ فَقَالَت: مَا أَبْكِي أَنْ لاَ أَكُون أَعلَم أَنَّ مَا عِندَ الله تعالى خَيرٌ لِرَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، وَلَكِن أَبكِي أَنَّ الوَحي قَدْ انْقَطَع مِنَ السَّمَاء؛ فَهَيَجَتْهُمَا عَلَى البُكَاء؛ فَجَعَلاَ يَبْكِيَان مَعَهَا.

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: After the Prophet's death, Abu Bakr said to ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them): "Let us visit Umm Ayman, just as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit her." When they came to her, she wept. They said to her: "What makes you weep? Do you not know that what is with Allah is better for the Messenger of Allah?" She said: "I am not weeping because of not knowing that what is with Allah is better for the Messenger of Allah, but I weep because the revelation from the sky has stopped." Her words moved them to tears and they began to weep along with her.
