حديث أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَتِ ابْنَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَيْهِ، إِنَّ ابْنًا لِي قُبِضَ فَأْتِنَا، فَأَرْسَلَ يُقْرِئُ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولُ: إِنَّ للهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى، وَكُلٌّ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى، فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ، تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ لَيأْتِيَنَّهَا؛ فَقَامَ وَمَعَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، وَرِجَالٌ؛ فَرُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّبِيُّ وَنَفْسُهُ تَتَقَعْقَعُ كَأَنَّهَا شَنٌّ، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا هذَا فَقَالَ: هذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءُ.
The daughter of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sent (a messenger) to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم requesting him to come as her child was dying (or was gasping), but the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم returned the messenger and told him to convey his greeting to her and say: "Whatever Allâh takes is for Him and whatever He gives, is for Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world), and so, she should be patient and hope for Allâh's Reward."She again sent for him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم got up, and so did Sa'd bin 'Ubâda, Mu'âdh bin Jabal, Ubai bin Ka'b, Zaid bin Thâbit and some other men. The child was brought to Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم while his breath was disturbed in his chest (the subnarrator thinks that Usâma added:) as if it was a leather water-skin. On that the eyes of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم started shedding tears.Sa'd said, "O Allâh's Messenger! What is this?" He replied, "It is the mercy which Allâh has lodged in the hearts of his slaves, and Allâh تعالى is Merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others). ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 373, Vol. 2 )
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: اشْتَكَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ شَكْوَى لَهُ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، يَعُودُهُ، مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، وَسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَوَجَدَهُ فِي غَاشِيَةِ أَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ قَضَى ⦗١٨٤⦘ قَالُوا: لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَبَكَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؛ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَوْمُ بُكَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَكَوْا، فَقَالَ: أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ، إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ بِدَمْعِ الْعَيْنِ وَلَا بِحُزْنِ الْقَلْبِ، وَلكِنْ يُعَذِّبُ بِهذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ أَوْ يَرْحَمُ، وَإِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ.
Sa'd bin 'Ubâda became sick and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم along with 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Aûf, Sa'd bin Abî Waqqâs and 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ûd رضي الله عنهم visited him to enquire about his health. When he came to him, he found him surrounded by members of his household and he asked, "Has he died?" They said, "No, O Allâh's Messenger."The Prophet ﷺ wept and when the people saw the weeping of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, they all wept. He said, "Will you listen? Allâh does not punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the heart, but he punishes because of this or bestows His Mercy." He pointed to his tongue and added, "The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 391, Vol. 2)
11/8. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِامْرَأَةٍ تَبْكِي عِنْدَ قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ: اتَّقِي اللهَ وَاصْبِرِي قَالَتْ: إِلَيْكَ عَنِّي، فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَبْ بِمُصِيبَتِي وَلَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ فَقِيلَ لَهَا: إِنَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؛ فَأَتَتْ بَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدَهُ بَوَّابِينَ؛ فَقَالَتْ: لَمْ أَعْرِفْكَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الأُولَى.
The Prophet ﷺ passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave. He told her to fear Allâh ﷻ and be patient. She said to him, "Go away, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine." And she did not recognise him. Then she was informed that he was the Prophet ﷺ. So she went to the house of the Prophet ﷺ and there she did not find any guard. Then she said to him, "I did not recognise you." He said, "Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 372, Vol. 2)
11/9. Chapter:
حديث عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهِ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ.
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The deceased is tortured in his grave for the wailing done over him.” ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 379, Vol. 2)
حديث عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسى، قَالَ: لَمَّا أُصِيبَ عُمَرُ رضي الله عنها، جَعَلَ صُهَيْبٌ يَقُولُ: وَاأَخَاهْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَيِّ.
When ‘Umar رضى الله عنه was stabbed, Suhaib رضى الله عنه started crying: O my brother! ‘Umar said, Don’t you know that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The deceased is tortured for the weeping (with wailing) of the living?” ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 377, Vol. 2)
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعُمَرَ، وَعَائِشَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: تُوُفِّيتْ ابْنَةٌ لِعُثْمَانَ رضي الله عنها بِمكَّةَ، وَجِئْنَا لِنَشْهَدَهَا، وَحَضَرَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَإِنِّي لَجَالِسٌ بَيْنَهُمَا (أَوْ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ الآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِي) فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، لِعَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ: أَلَا تَنْهَى عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ رضي الله عنها يَقُولُ بَعْضَ ذلِك ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ، قَالَ: صَدَرْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنها مِنْ مَكَّةَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَكْبٍ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ سَمُرَةٍ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ هؤلاءِ الرَّكْبُ؛ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا صُهَيْبٌ، فَأَخْبَرتُهُ، فَقَالَ: ادْعُهُ لِي، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى صُهَيْبٍ، فَقُلْتُ: ارْتَحِلْ فَالْحَقْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤمِنِينَ فَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ عُمَرُ دَخَلَ صُهَيْبٌ يَبْكِي يَقُولُ: وَاأَخَاهْ وَاصَاحِبَاهْ؛ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رضي الله عنها: يَا صُهَيْبُ أَتَبْكِي عَلَيَّ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ ⦗١٨٦⦘ بِبَعْضِ بُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَلَمَّا مَاتَ عُمَرُ رضي الله عنها ذَكَرْتُ ذلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: رَحِمَ اللهُ عُمَرَ وَاللهِ مَا حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ لَيُعَذِّبُ الْمُؤمِنَ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ؛ وَلكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ لَيَزِيدُ الْكَافِرَ عَذَابًا بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ: حَسْبُكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ وَلَا تَزِرُ وزِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرى قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، عِنْدَ ذلِكَ: وَاللهُ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىقَالَ ابْنُ أُبِي مُلَيْكَةَ: وَاللهِ مَا قَالَ ابنُ عُمَرَ شَيْئًا.
One of the daughters of ‘Uthmân رضى الله عنه died at Makka. We went to attend her funeral procession. Ibn ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Abbâs رضى الله عنهم were also present. I sat in between them (or said, I sat beside one of them. Then a man came and sat beside me.) ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Umar رضى الله عنهما said to ‘Amr bin ‘Uthmân رضى الله عنه, “Will you not prohibit crying as Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم has said, ‘The dead person is tortured by the crying of his relatives?’ ”Ibn ‘Abbâs رضى الله عنهما said, “‘Umar رضى الله عنه used to say so.” Then he added, narrating: I accompanied ‘Umar رضى الله عنه on a journey from Makka till we reached Al-Baida’. There he saw some travellers in the shade of a Samura (a kind of forest tree). He said (to me). ‘Go and see who those travellers are.’ So I went and saw that one of them was Suhaib رضى الله عنه. I informed ‘Umar رضى الله عنه about that, who, then asked me to call him. So I went back to Suhaib رضى الله عنه and said to him, ‘Depart and proceed to chief of the faithful believers.’ Later, when ‘Umar رضى الله عنه was stabbed, Suhaib رضى الله عنه came weeping and saying, ‘O my brother, O my friend!' On that 'Umar رضي الله عنه said to him, 'O Suhaib! Are you weeping for me while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'The dead person is punished by the weeping (crying aloud) of some of his relatives?' "Ibn 'Abbâs رضي الله عنهما added, "When 'Umar رضي الله عنه died I told that to 'Âisha رضي الله عنها and she said, "May Allâh be merciful to 'Umar رضي الله عنه. By Allâh, Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم did not say that a believer is punished by the weeping of his relatives, but he said, 'Allâh increases the punishment of a disbeliever because of the weeping (crying aloud) of his relatives.' " 'Âisha رضي الله عنها further added, "The Qur'ân is sufficient for you (to clear up this point) As Allâh تعالى has stated:'No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another.' " (V.35:18 — (V.6:164).Ibn 'Abbâs رضي الله عنهما then said, "Only Allâh تعالى makes to whom He wills laugh, and makes to whom he wills weep." Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما did not say anything after that. Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 375, Vol. 2)
حديث عَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَفَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: أَنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهِ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَتْ: وَهَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ﵀ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّهُ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِخَطِيئَتِهِ وَذَنْبِهِ، وَإِنَّ أَهْلَهُ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهِ الآنَ قَالَتْ: وَذَاكَ مِثْلُ قَوْلِهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ⦗١٨٧⦘ قَامَ عَلَى الْقَلِيبِ وَفيهِ قَتْلَى بَدْرٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَا قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ لَيَسْمَعُونَ مَا أَقُولُ إِنَّمَا قَالَ: إِنَّهُمُ الآنَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَا كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُمْ حَقٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ (إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى) وَ(وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ) يَقُولُ حينَ تَبَوَّءُوا مَقَاعِدَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ.
It was mentioned before 'Âisha رضي الله عنها that Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما attributed the following statement to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم : "The dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation of his family." On that, ‘Aisha رضي الله عنها said, “But Allāh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins, while his family cry over him then.’ ”She added, “And this is similar to the statement of Allāh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم when he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, and said, ‘They hear what I say...’ She added, but he said, ‘Now they know very well, what I used to tell them was the truth.’ ” ‘Aisha رضي الله عنها then recited:“So verily, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) cannot make the dead to hear.’(V.30:52)“But you cannot make hear those who are in graves.” (V.35:22)That is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire. ( Sahih Al-Bukhāri, Hadith No. 316, Vol. 5 )
حديث عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَتْ: إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ يَبْكِي عَلَيْهَا أَهْلُهَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ ليبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا.
Once Allāh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم passed by (the grave of) a Jewess whose relatives were weeping (crying aloud) over her. He said, “They are weeping (crying aloud) over her, and she is being tortured in her grave.” ( Sahih Al-Bukhāri, Hadith No. 376, Vol. 2 )
حديث الْمُغِيرَةِ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ.
I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, “The deceased who is wailed over is tortured for that wailing.” ( Sahih Al-Bukhāri, Hadith No. 378, Vol. 2 )
11/10. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَتْلُ ابْنِ حَارِثَةَ وَجَعْفَرٍ وَابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ، جَلَسَ يُعْرَفُ فِيهِ الْحُزْنُ، وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ مِنْ صَائرِ الْبَابِ، شَقِّ الْبَابِ؛ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ نِسَاءَ جَعْفَرٍ، وَذَكَرَ بُكَاءَهُنَّ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَنْهَاهُنَّ، فَذَهَبَ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ، لَمْ يُطِعْنَهُ، فَقَالَ: أنْهَهُنَّ فَأَتَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ، قَالَ: وَاللهِ غَلَبْنَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّه قَالَ: فَاحْثُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ التُّرَابَ فَقُلْتُ: أَرْغَمَ اللهُ أَنْفَكَ، لَمْ تَفْعَلْ مَا أَمَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْعَنَاءِ.
When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم got the news of the death of (Zaid) Ibn Hāritha, Ja‘far and Ibn Rawāha, he sat down and looked sad and I was looking at him through the chink of the door. A man came and told him about the crying of the women of Ja'far. The Prophet ﷺ ordered him to forbid them. The man went and came back saying that he had told them but they did not listen to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Forbid them." So again he went and came back for the third time and said, "O Allâh's Messenger! By Allâh, they did not listen to us at all."('Aisha رضى الله عنها added): Allâh's Messenger ﷺ ordered him to go and put dust in their mouths. I said, (to that man) "May Allâh stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you)! You could neither (persuade the women to) fulfil the order of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ nor did you relieve Allâh's Messenger ﷺ from (his) distress."( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 386, Vol. 2 )
