ahmad:4865Yazīd > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Yaḥyá b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Ḥāṭib > Ibn ʿUmar

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a grave and said, "Verily, the occupant of this grave is being punished now because of the weeping of his family over him." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "May Allah forgive Abu Abdur Rahman. Indeed, does not Allah say, 'And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another'" (Surah Al Anaam 164). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ only said that this person is being punished now while his family weeps over him.  

أحمد:٤٨٦٥حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَبْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيُعَذَّبُ الْآنَ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ غَفَرَ اللهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّهُ وَهِلَ إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ {وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَأُخْرَى} [الأنعام 164] إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيُعَذَّبُ الْآنَ وَأَهْلُهُ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهِ

The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living. Upon this 'A'isha said: May Allah have mercy upon the father of 'Abd al-Rahman (Ibn 'Umar). He did not tell a lie, but he forgot or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ happened to pass by a (dead) Jewess who was being lamented. Upon this he said: They weep over her and she is being punished in the grave.

'The deceased is punished due to his family's weeping over him; Mention of that was made to 'Aishah and she said: 'He is wrong; rather the Prophet passed by a grave and said: The occupant of this grave is being punished and his family are weeping for him." Then she recited: And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The dead is punished because of his family's weeping for him. When this was mentioned to 'Aishah, she said: Ibn 'Umar forgot and made a mistake. The Prophet ﷺ passed by grave and he said: The man in the grave is being punished while his family is weeping for him. She then recited: "No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another." The narrator Abu Mu'awiyyah said: (The Prophet passed) by the grave of a Jew.

Amrah informed him that she heard Aishah, while it was being mentioned to her that Ibn Umar had said that the deceased would be punished for the crying of the living (over him). So Aishah said: 'May Allah forgive Abu Abdur-Rahman. He has not lied, but he is mistaken in the understanding. Rather, the Messenger of Allah passed by a Jewish woman who was being cried over, so he said: 'They are crying over her and she is being punished in her grave.'"  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ.
