“We used to think that gathering with the family of the deceased and preparing food was a form of wailing.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1612)   

أحمد:٦٩٠٥ – حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ بَابٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ قَالَ

كُنَّا نَعُدُّ الِاجْتِمَاعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْمَيِّتِ وَصَنِيعَةَ الطَّعَامِ بَعْدَ دَفْنِهِ مِنَ النِّيَاحَةِ
