9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit Abdullah bin Thabit and found him defeated, so he shouted at him but he did not respond. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ retraced his steps and said, "We have conquered you, O Abu Ar-Rabi'a, and the women shouted and cried." Ibn 'Atiyyah silenced them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave them, and when the victory comes, do not cry." "What is victory, O Messenger of Allah?" he asked. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When he dies."
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ فَصَاحَ بِهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ فَصَاحَ النِّسْوَةُ وَبَكَيْنَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسَكِّتُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ وَمَا الْوُجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِذَا مَاتَ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Battle of Uhud, he heard the women of the Ansar crying. He said, "But Hamza has no one to cry for him." This news reached the women of the Ansar, so they cried for Hamza. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then went to sleep, and when he woke up, the women were still crying. He said, "Woe to them! Why are they still crying since that day? Let them be silent and not cry for the dead after today." It has been narrated by Usama from Nafi' from Ibn 'Umar.
لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أُحُدٍ سَمِعَ نِسَاءَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَبْكِينَ فَقَالَ لَكِنَّ حَمْزَةَ لَا بَوَاكِيَ لَهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ نِسَاءَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَبَكَيْنَ لِحَمْزَةَ فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُنَّ يَبْكِينَ فَقَالَ يَا وَيْحَهُنَّ مَا زِلْنَ يَبْكِينَ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ فَلْيَسْكُتْنَ وَلَا يَبْكِينَ عَلَى هَالِكٍ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned on the day of Uhud and heard the women of Banu Abd al-Ashhal crying for their dead. He said, "But Hamzah has no women to cry for him." So the women of the Ansar came and cried for Hamzah in his presence. He then went to sleep and woke up to find them still crying. He said, "Woe to them! They have cried enough for him. They should return and not cry for the deceased after today." And his statement, "They should not cry for the deceased after today" means that if he wanted it to be a general prohibition, it would be like his statement in the hadith of Ibn Atiyyah: "If the mourning period is complete, then do not cry for the deceased." And it is possible that what is meant by "the deceased" here are the martyrs of Uhud, as if he was saying, "It is enough that I have not cried for them." And it has been established that there is permission to cry after death with tears and sorrow in the heart. So the hadith of Jabir ibn Atiyyah is applicable to choose from. And Allah knows best.
رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَسَمِعَ نِسَاءَ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى هَلْكَاهُنَّ فَقَالَ لَكِنَّ حَمْزَةَ لَا بَوَاكِيَ لَهُ فَجِئْنَ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فَبَكَيْنَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ عِنْدَهُ وَرَقَدَ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُنَّ يَبْكِينَ فَقَالَ وَيْحَهُنَّ إِنَّهُنَّ لَهَاهُنَا حَتَّى الْآنَ مُرُوهُنَّ فَلْيَرْجِعْنَ وَلَا يَبْكِينَ عَلَى هَالِكٍ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ وَقَوْلُهُ وَلَا يَبْكِينَ عَلَى هَالِكٍ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ إِنْ أَرَادَ بِهِ الْعُمُومَ كَانَ كَقَوْلِهِ فِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَتِيكٍ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمُرَادُ بِهِ عَلَى هَالِكٍ مِنْ شُهَدَاءِ أُحُدٍ فَكَأَنَّهُ قَالَ حَسْبُكُنَّ مَا بَكَيتُنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَقَدْ وَرَدَتِ الرُّخْصَةُ فِي الْبُكَاءِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ بِدَمْعِ الْعَيْنِ وَحُزْنِ الْقَلْبِ فَيَكُونُ حَدِيثُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ مَحْمُولًا عَلَى الِاخْتِيَارِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
