[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out for a funeral procession with Umar ibn Al-Khattab. He heard women crying, so Umar raised his voice to calm them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Umar, "O Umar, let them be, for the eye sheds tears, the soul feels sorrow, and the appointed time is near."  

الحاكم:١٤٠٦حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْفَقِيهُ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ وَمَعَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَسَمِعَ نِسَاءً يَبْكِينَ فَزَبَرَهُنَّ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عُمَرُ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ دَامِعَةٌ وَالنَّفْسَ مُصَابَةٌ وَالْعَهْدَ قَرِيبٌ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ

ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلنِّسَاءِ أَنْ يَبْكِينَ مَوْتَاهُنَّ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ ثَمَّ نَوْحٌ

[Machine] Salama bin al-Azraq testified that I heard Abu Huraira saying that we passed by the funeral of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I was with him, as well as Umar ibn al-Khattab and some women crying. He reproached and admonished them, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave them, O Umar, for the eye sheds tears, the soul grieves, and the covenant is near."  

ابن حبّان:٣١٥٧أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَزْرَقِ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا فَعَابَ ذَلِكَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَانْتَهَرَهُنَّ فَقَالَ

سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَزْرَقِ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مُرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِجِنَازَةٍ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ وَمَعَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَنِسَاءٌ يَبْكِينَ عَلَيْهَا فَزَجَرَهُنَّ وَانْتَهَرَهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُنَّ يَا عُمَرُ فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ دَامِعَةٌ وَالنَّفْسَ مُصَابَةٌ وَالْعَهْدَ قَرِيبٌ»
