The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living. Upon this 'A'isha said: May Allah have mercy upon the father of 'Abd al-Rahman (Ibn 'Umar). He did not tell a lie, but he forgot or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ happened to pass by a (dead) Jewess who was being lamented. Upon this he said: They weep over her and she is being punished in the grave.

, when she was told that Ibn 'Umar said that the deceased is punished due to the weeping of the living for him, 'Aishah said: "May Allah forgive Abu 'Abdur-Rahman; he is not lying, but he has forgotten or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah passed by a (deceased) Jewish woman for whom people were weeping and he said: 'They are weeping for her and she is being punished."'

Amrah informed him that she heard Aishah, while it was being mentioned to her that Ibn Umar had said that the deceased would be punished for the crying of the living (over him). So Aishah said: 'May Allah forgive Abu Abdur-Rahman. He has not lied, but he is mistaken in the understanding. Rather, the Messenger of Allah passed by a Jewish woman who was being cried over, so he said: 'They are crying over her and she is being punished in her grave.'"  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ.

malik:16-38

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from his father that Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman told him that she had heard A'isha, the umm al-muminin, say (when it was mentioned to her that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "The dead are tormented by the weeping of the living"), "May Allah forgive Abu Abd ar-Rahman. Of course he has not lied, but he has forgotten, or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a jewish woman whose family were crying over her and he said, 'You are crying over her, and she is being tormented in her grave. ' "

ahmad:4865Yazīd > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Yaḥyá b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Ḥāṭib > Ibn ʿUmar

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a grave and said, "Verily, the occupant of this grave is being punished now because of the weeping of his family over him." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "May Allah forgive Abu Abdur Rahman. Indeed, does not Allah say, 'And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another'" (Surah Al Anaam 164). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ only said that this person is being punished now while his family weeps over him.
