[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Verily, the deceased is punished with the cries of mourning over him in his grave." This narration is authentically reported in the hadith of Shu'bah.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ بِالنِّيَاحَةِ عَلَيْهِ فِي قَبْرِهِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "The deceased is punished because of the crying and wailing done over him in his grave."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فِي قَبْرِهِ  

The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living. (Using translation from Muslim 930)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحِيِّ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, the deceased is punished by the weeping of his family over him.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] Umar was stabbed, and Suhaib said, "Oh my brother!" Umar then said to him, "Oh Suhaib, did you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, the dead person is punished by the weeping of the living'?"  

طُعِنَ عُمَرُ ؓ جَعَلَ صُهَيْبٌ يَقُولُ وَا أَخَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا صُهَيْبُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحِيِّ  

O Hafsa, did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying:" One who is lamented would be punished"? Suhaib also lamented over him. 'Umar told him also: O Suhaib, didn't you know that one who is lamented is punished? (Using translation from Muslim 927g)   

سَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْمُعَوَّلُ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُ وَعَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ صُهَيْبٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا صُهَيْبُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْمُعَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُ  

[Machine] "What is this mourning in Islam?" They said, "A man from the Ansar called Qaradhatu bin Kaab has died, so we are lamenting for him." Al-Mughira said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever lies about me deliberately, let him occupy his seat in Hellfire. And I also heard the Prophet of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever is mourned over, he will be punished for what is mourned over him."  

مَا هَذَا النَّوْحُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ؟ قَالُوا تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ قَرَظَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَنِيحَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَيَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever intentionally lies about me, then he should prepare his place in the Fire. And I heard him saying, "Whoever mourns excessively for him, then he will be punished for his excessive mourning."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Verily, the deceased is punished by the weeping of the living."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحِيِّ  

[Machine] He did not understand anything, but he passed by the funeral of a Jewish man, and his family was mourning him. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They are crying over him, and indeed he is being punished."

Note: The translation is a literal meaning of the passage and may not convey the full context or nuanced interpretation.  

شَيْئًا فَلَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ إِنَّمَا مُرَّ بِجِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَجَعَلَ أَهْلُهُ يَبْكُونَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَيُعَذَّبُ  

[Machine] "Do not cry for them, for the crying of the living is a punishment for the dead." And he said about Umrah, "So I asked Aisha about that, and she said, 'May Allah have mercy on him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ only said that to a Jewish woman and her people as they were crying over her, and indeed, she was being punished in her grave."  

لَهُمْ لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ بُكَاءَ الْحِيِّ عَذَابٌ لِلْمَيِّتِ وَقَالَ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ يَرْحَمُهُ اللهُ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَهُودِيَّةٍ وَأَهْلُهَا يَبْكُونَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا  

[Machine] Indeed, he did not lie but rather he made a mistake or forgot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a Jewish woman while her family was crying over her. He said, "Indeed, they cry over her, but she is being punished in her grave." 7175 Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, Abu Abdullah Al-Shaybani narrated to me, and my father and Muhammad ibn Shadhan said: Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated from Malik ibn Anas, and he mentioned it with his chain of narrators except that he said: Ummarah bint Abdul Rahman informed him, and she said, "Aisha said, 'May Allah forgive Abu Abdur Rahman.' And she said, 'He cried over her.'"  

ؓ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخْطَأَ أَوْ نَسِيَ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ وَهِيَ يَبْكِي عَلَيْهَا أَهْلُهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا 7175 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ قَالَا ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ وَقَالَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَقَالَ يَبْكِي عَلَيْهَا  

One of the daughters of ʿUthman died at Mecca. We went to attend her funeral procession. Ibn ʿUmar and Ibn ʿAbbas were also present. I sat in between them (or said, I sat beside one of them. Then a man came and sat beside me.) ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said to ʿAmr bin ʿUthman, "Will you not prohibit crying as Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said, 'The dead person is tortured by the crying of his relatives.?" Ibn ʿAbbas said, "ʿUmar used to say so." Then he added narrating, "I accompanied ʿUmar on a journey from Mecca till we reached Al-Baida. There he saw some travelers in the shade of a Samura (A kind of forest tree). He said (to me), "Go and see who those travelers are." So I went and saw that one of them was Suhaib. I told this to ʿUmar who then asked me to call him. So I went back to Suhaib and said to him, "Depart and follow the chief of the faithful believers." Later, when ʿUmar was stabbed, Suhaib came in weeping and saying, "O my brother, O my friend!" (on this ʿUmar said to him, "O Suhaib! Are you weeping for me while the Prophet ﷺ said, "The dead person is punished by some of the weeping of his relatives?" Ibn ʿAbbas added, "When ʿUmar died I told all this to Aisha and she said, 'May Allah be merciful to ʿUmar. By Allah, Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not say that a believer is punished by the weeping of his relatives. But he said, Allah increases the punishment of a non-believer because of the weeping of his relatives." Aisha further added, "The Qur'an is sufficient for you (to clear up this point) as Allah has stated: 'No burdened soul will bear another's burden.' " (35.18). Ibn ʿAbbas then said, "Only Allah makes one laugh or cry." Ibn ʿUmar did not say anything after that. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1286)   

لِعُثْمَانَ ؓ بِمَكَّةَ وَجِئْنَا لِنَشْهَدَهَا قَالَ وَحَضَرَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَإِنِّي لَجَالِسٌ بَيْنَهُمَا أَوْ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ أَلَا تَنْهَى النِّسَاءَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَقُولُ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ قَالَ صَدَرْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَكْبٍ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّكْبِ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ صُهَيْبٌ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ قَالَ ادْعُهُ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى صُهَيْبٍ فَقُلْتُ ارْتَحِلْ فَالْحَقْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ عُمَرُ دَخَلَ صُهَيْبٌ ؓ يَبْكِي يَقُولُ وَا أَخَاهُ وَا صَاحِبَاهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَا صُهَيْبُ أَتَبْكِي عَلَيَّ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبَعْضِ بُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ عُمَرُ ؓ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ فَقَالَتْ رَحِمَ اللهُ عُمَرَ وَاللهِ مَا حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ يُعَذِّبُ الْمُؤْمِنَ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ لَيَزِيدُ الْكَافِرَ عَذَابًا بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ حَسْبُكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ {وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى} [الأنعام 164] قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَاللهُ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَى قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ فَوَاللهِ مَا قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ شَيْئًا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُبَارَكٍ وَحَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ بِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , is more likely to be preserved through the indication of the Book, then the Sunnah. If it is said, "Where is the indication of the Book?" It is said, "In the saying of Allah, 'No bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another' [Surah Al-An'am: 164], and His saying, 'And that man can have nothing but what he strives for' [Surah An-Najm: 39], and His saying, 'So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it' [Surah Az-Zalzalah: 8], and His saying, 'So that every soul may be recompensed for what it earned' [Surah Taha: 15]." If it is said, "Where is the indication of the Sunnah?" It is said, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to a man about his son, 'Is he your son?' The man replied, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Know that verily, he does not bring loss to you, nor does he bring profit to you. Rather, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , knows just as Allah knows, that the sin of every person is upon him alone, as he did it for himself, not for anyone else and not for him.' Ash-Shafi'i and 'Umarah were the most diligent in preserving from 'Aisha, more than from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, and her hadith is most likely to be preserved. If the hadith is according to what Ibn Abi Mulaykah narrated and not according to what he narrated from the Prophet, ﷺ , then it is correct, for the disbeliever is punished more severely than him. If he is punished without it, then it increases in his punishment, but not more than what the disbeliever deserves, and what is added to it is due to his response, not due to the sin of someone else when they weep for him. If it is said that weeping increases punishment for him, then it is said that it increases due to what he has earned through his deeds, and their weeping is a cause for obedience, so just as he is rewarded for what is a cause for obedience, it is possible for him to be punished for what is a cause for sinning. And success is from Allah.
