وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لَمَّا مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «حَزِنَّا عَلَيْكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ إِنَّا لَصَابِرُونَ يَحْزَنُ اَلْقَلْبُ وَ تَدْمَعُ اَلْعَيْنُ وَ لاَ نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ اَلرَّبَّ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "When Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم passed away, the Prophet said: 'We are grieved by your departure, O’ Ibrahim, and we are patient. The heart is sorrowful, and the eyes shed tears, but we do not say that which displeases the Lord عز وجل.'"
