Ibn ‘Abbas said that when Allah's Messenger ﷺ’s daughter Zainab died and the women wept, ‘Umar began to strike them with his whip, but Allah's Messenger ﷺ pushed him back saying, “Gently, ‘Umar.” He then said, “Beware of the devil’s clamour,” and added, “Whatever comes from the eye and from the heart is from Allah who is great and glorious and pertains to compassion, but what comes from the hand and from the tongue is of the devil.” Ahmad transmitted it.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَاتَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَكَتِ النِّسَاء فَجعل عُمَرُ يَضْرِبُهُنَّ بِسَوْطِهِ فَأَخَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ: «مهلا يَا عمر» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِيَّاكُنَّ وَنَعِيقَ الشَّيْطَانِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ مَهْمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَيْنِ وَمِنَ الْقَلْبِ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْيَدِ وَمِنَ اللِّسَانِ فَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
