6. Funerals
٦۔ كتاب الجنائز
“And that they will not disobey you in Ma’ruf (all that is good in Islam);” he said: “(It is about) wailing.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {وَلاَ يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ} قَالَ النَّوْحُ
“Mu’awiyah delivered a sermon in Hims, and in his sermon he mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade wailing.”
خَطَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِحِمْصَ فَذَكَرَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ النَّوْحِ
‘Wailing is one of the affairs of the Days of Ignorance, and if the woman who wails dies without having repented, Allah will cut a garment of pitch (tar) for her and a shirt of flaming fire.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النِّيَاحَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَإِنَّ النَّائِحَةَ إِذَا مَاتَتْ وَلَمْ تَتُبْ قَطَعَ اللَّهُ لَهَا ثِيَابًا مِنْ قَطِرَانٍ وَدِرْعًا مِنْ لَهَبِ النَّارِ
“Wailing over the dead is one of the affairs of the Days of Ignorance and if the woman who wails does not repent before she dies, she will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection wearing a shirt of pitch (tar), over which she will wear a shirt of flaming fire.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النِّيَاحَةُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّ النَّائِحَةَ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُبْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُوتَ فَإِنَّهَا تُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَيْهَا سَرَابِيلُ مِنْ قَطِرَانٍ ثُمَّ يُعْلَى عَلَيْهَا بِدُرُوعٍ مِنْ لَهَبِ النَّارِ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade following a funeral that was accompanied by a wailing woman.”
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُتْبَعَ جِنَازَةٌ مَعَهَا رَانَّةٌ
