Grief is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[3:156] O you who believe, do not be like those who disbelieved and said of their kinsmen who traveled or mobilized for war, “Had they stayed with us, they would not have died or gotten killed.” God renders this a source of grief in their hearts. God controls life and death. God is Seer of everything you do.

[12:86] He said, “I simply complain to God about my dilemma and grief, for I know from God what you do not know.

[16:58] When one of them gets a baby girl, his face becomes darkened with overwhelming grief.

[28:7] We inspired Moses’ mother: “Nurse him, and when you fear for his life, throw him into the river without fear or grief. We will return him to you, and will make him one of the messengers.”

[28:8] Pharaoh’s family picked him up, only to have him lead the opposition and to be a source of grief for them. That is because Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops were transgressors.

[33:51] You may gently shun any one of them, and you may bring closer to you any one of them. If you reconcile with any one you had estranged, you commit no error. In this way, they will be pleased, will have no grief, and will be content with what you equitably offer to all of them. God knows what is in your hearts. God is Omniscient, Clement.

[39:61] And God will save those who have maintained righteousness; He will reward them. No harm will touch them, nor will they have any grief.
