9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
Among my people there are four characteristics belonging to pre-Islamic period which they do not abandon: boasting of high rank, reviling other peoples' genealogies, seeking rain by stars, and walling. And he (further) said: If the wailing woman does not repent before she dies, she will be made to stand on the Day of Resurrection wearing a garment of pitch and a chemise of mange. (Using translation from Muslim 934)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لَا يَتْرُكُونَهُنَّ الْفَخْرُ فِي الْأَحْسَابِ وَالطَّعْنُ فِي الْأَنْسَابِ وَالِاسْتِسْقَاءُ بِالنُّجُومِ وَالنِّيَاحَةُ وَإِنَّ النَّائِحَةَ إِذَا لَمْ تَتُبْ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهَا تُقَامُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَعَلَيْهَا سِرْبَالٌ مِنْ قَطِرَانٍ وَدِرْعٌ مِنْ جَرَبٍ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ حَبَّانَ
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "There are two things in people that are considered disbelief: wailing and slandering lineage."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اثْنَتَانِ فِي النَّاسِ وَهُمَا بِهِمْ كُفْرٌ النِّيَاحَةُ وَالطَّعْنُ فِي النَّسَبِ
[Machine] Sufyan says, "Indeed, it is the seeking of rain through supplication during the seasons."
سُفْيَانُ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا الِاسْتِسْقَاءُ بِالْأَنْوَاءِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the wailing woman and the woman who listens to her. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3128)
لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّائِحَةَ وَالْمُسْتَمِعَةَ
[Machine] "He (Ibn Umar) used to say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the professional mourners, those who listen to them, those who shave their heads, those who tear their clothes, those who tattoo and those who get tattooed. He also said that women do not receive any reward for attending funerals."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَعَنَ النَّائِحَةَ وَالْمُسْتَمِعَةَ وَالْحَالِقَةَ وَالسَّالِقَةَ وَالْوَاشِمَةَ وَالْمُوتَشِمَةَ وَقَالَ لَيْسَ لِلنِّسَاءِ فِي اتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ أَجْرٌ
