6. Funerals
٦۔ كتاب الجنائز
“He is not one of us who tears his garments, strikes his cheeks, and cries with the cry of the Days of Ignorance.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ شَقَّ الْجُيُوبَ وَضَرَبَ الْخُدُودَ وَدَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the woman who scratches her face and rends her garment and cries that she is doomed (i.e. because of the death of this person).
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَعَنَ الْخَامِشَةَ وَجْهَهَا وَالشَّاقَّةَ جَيْبَهَا وَالدَّاعِيَةَ بِالْوَيْلِ وَالثُّبُورِ
“When Abu Musa fell sick, his wife Umm ‘Abdullah started to wail loudly. He woke up and said to her: ‘Do you not know that I am innocent of those whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared innocence of?’ And he told her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘I am innocent of those who shave their heads, raise their voices and tear their garments (at times of calamity).’”
لَهَا أَوَ مَا عَلِمْتِ أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمَّنْ بَرِئَ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ يُحَدِّثُهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِمَّنْ حَلَقَ وَسَلَقَ وَخَرَقَ
