The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, called on those undergoing disasters to be patient and expect the reward with Allah, and he would be sad at their sadness, and would even cry at times

“The daughter of the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, sent to him saying: ‘A son of mine is on the verge of passing away, so come to our house.’ The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, sent back, beginning with greetings of peace, then saying: ‘To Allah belongs what He has taken, and to Him belongs what He has given, and everything with Him has a fixed term, so be patient and expect Allah’s reward. Then she sent for him again, adjuring him by Allah that he should come to her, so he stood up, and with him were Sa`d ibn `Ubaadah, Mu`aath ibn Jabal, Ubayy ibn Ka`b, Zayd ibn Thaabit, and other men. The child was brought to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and a rattling sound came from the child’s chest, upon which the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, shed tears. Sa`d said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is this?’ The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘It is mercy that Allah The Almighty puts in the hearts of His slaves; Allah The Almighty has mercy on his merciful slaves.’”
