The hadith of the woman who grieved for her son, and the Messenger of Allah advised her, and she said to him, not knowing that he was the Messenger of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh, citing the hadith of the woman to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Fear Allah and be patient اتقي الله واصبري
So, if a mother now finds herself in severe grief

The Shaykh : If so,

The questioner : If a mother now finds herself in severe grief over a son who has died and cannot bear to sit in the house, is she granted a dispensation to go to the grave?

The Shaykh : No, no. How can the Messenger say:
Fear Allah اتقي الله
This indicates that her action is contrary to taqwa (mindfulness of Allah).

The questioner : It is not to be understood that way, O Shaykh...

The Shaykh : Ah?

The questioner :
Fear Allah and be patient اتقي الله واصبري
Is it not to be understood as referring to the intense crying she displayed?

The Shaykh : No, and it also refers to her coming, and to her coming. Yes.
