23.33 What (sort of) wailing over a deceased is disliked

٢٣۔٣٣ باب مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ النِّيَاحَةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ

[Machine] "Umar said, let them cry over Abu Sulaiman as long as there is no wailing or clamor. The wailing is the hitting of the head with dirt, and the clamor is the raising of the voice."

وَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ دَعْهُنَّ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ نَقْعٌ أَوْ لَقْلَقَةٌ. وَالنَّقْعُ التُّرَابُ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ، وَاللَّقْلَقَةُ الصَّوْتُ.

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a lie against me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire." I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The deceased who is wailed over is tortured for that wailing."  

البخاري:١٢٩١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ؛ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ؛ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ؛ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ ؓ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَىَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ، مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ۔» سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ۔»  

bukhari:1292ʿAbdān from my father > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab > Ibn ʿUmar from his father

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The deceased is tortured in his grave for the wailing done over him." Narrated Shu'ba: The deceased is tortured for the wailing of the living ones over him .  

البخاري:١٢٩٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهِ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ  

تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ وَقَالَ آدَمُ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَىِّ عَلَيْهِ
