"None of you should wish for death. Either he is a doer of good, so perhaps he may do more good, or he is an evildoer but perhaps he will give up his evil ways." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1818)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَزْدَادَ خَيْرًا وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ»  

'None of you should wish for death. Either he is a doer of good, so if he lives he will do more good or he is a doer of evil but perhaps he will give up his evil ways."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1819)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَإِنْ يَعِشْ يَزْدَدْ خَيْرًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهَذَا أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ مِنَ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ  

"None of you should wish for death because of some harm that befalls him, rather he should say: 'Allahumma ahini ma kanatil-hayatu khairanli wa tawaffani idha kanatil-wafatu khairanli (O Allah, keep me alive so alive so long as life is good for me, and cause me to die when death is good for me.)"' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1820)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said," None of you should long for death because of a calamity that had befallen him, and if he cannot, but long for death, then he should say, 'O Allah! Let me live as long as life is better for me, and take my life if death is better for me.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 6351)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدٌ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ مُتَمَنِّيًا الْمَوْتَ فَلْيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Do not pray for death or wish for it. Whoever insists on praying for it let him say: Allahumma ahini ma kanatil-hayatu khairanli wa tawaffani idha kanatil-wafatu khairanli (O Allah, keep me alive so long as life is good for me, and cause me to die when death is good for me.)"' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1822)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَدْعُوا بِالْمَوْتِ وَلَا تَتَمَنُّوهُ فَمَنْ كَانَ دَاعِيًا لَا بُدَّ فَلْيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي»  

I came to Khabbab who had been branded with seven brands(1) and he said, "Had Messenger of Allah ﷺ not forbidden us to invoke (Allah) for death, I would have invoked (Allah) for it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6349)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Remember constantly the destroyer of pleasures." Muhammad said in his narration about death, Abu Abdur-Rahman Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, who is the father of Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah, and Al-Qasim ibn Abi Shaybah, all of whom are three brothers. Abu Bakr is trustworthy, Uthman is acceptable, and Al-Qasim is not trustworthy.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ هَاذِمِ اللَّذَّاتِ» قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هُوَ وَالِدُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَالْقَاسِمِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةُ إِخْوَةٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ثِقَةٌ وَعُثْمَانُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَالْقَاسِمُ لَيْسَ بِثِقَةٍ  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'When you see the dead, say something good, for the angels say Amin to whatever you say; When Abu Salamah died, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what should I say?' He said: 'Say" Allahummaghfirlanaa wa lahu wa a 'qibni minhu 'uqbai hasanah (O Allah, forgive us and him, and compensate me well for this loss.)"' Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, compensated me with Muhammad." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1825)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَرِيضَ فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قَوْلِي «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلَهُ وَأَعْقِبْنِي مِنْهُ عُقْبَى حَسَنَةً فَأَعْقَبَنِي اللهُ مِنْهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ»  

‘Urge your dying ones to say La ilaha illallah.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1444)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَقِّنُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Prompt your dying ones to say La ilaha illahllah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah)."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1827)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَقِّنُوا هَلْكَاكُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ  

“The believer dies with sweat on his brow.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1452)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَوْتُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ عَرَقِ الْجَبِينِ»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'The believer dies with sweat on his forehead."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1829)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمُؤْمِنُ يَمُوتُ بِعَرَقِ الْجَبِينِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ died while he was between my chest and chin, so I never dislike the death agony for anyone after the Prophet. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4446)  

«مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّهُ لَبَيْنَ حَاقِنَتِي وَذَاقِنَتِي فَلَا أَكْرَهُ شِدَّةَ الْمَوْتِ لِأَحَدٍ أَبَدًا بَعْدَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»  

"The last time I saw the Messenger of Allah, he drew back the curtain when the people were in rows behind Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. Abu Bakr wanted to step back, but he gestured to them to stay as they were, and let the curtain drop. He died at the end of that day, and that was a Monday." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1831)  

آخِرُ نَظْرَةٍ نَظَرْتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَشَفَ السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ صُفُوفٌ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمِ «أَنِ امْكُثُوا وَأَلْقَى السِّجْفَ وَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ»  

[Machine] A man died in the city where he was born, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for him. The Messenger ﷺ said, "I wish he had died in a place other than his birthplace." They asked, "Why, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "When a person dies in a place other than his birthplace, it is as if he has traveled from his birthplace to the point where his footprints end in Paradise." Abu Abdur-Rahman Huwayy ibn Abdullah said to us, "He is not a reliable narrator for us, and this hadith is not well-preserved. Allah knows best. For the authentic narration from the Prophet ﷺ is, 'Whoever among you is able to die in Madinah, then I will intercede for him.'"  

مَاتَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ وُلِدَ بِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ» فَقَالُوا وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حُيَيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ لَيْسَ مِمَنْ يُعْتَمَدُ عَلَيْهِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عِنْدَنَا غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ لِأَنَّ الصَّحِيحَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «مِنَ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنِّي أَشْفَعُ لِمَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا»  

"When the believer is dying, the angels of mercy come to him with white silk and sya: 'Come out content and with the pleasure of Allah upon you to the mercy of Allah, fragrance and a Lord Who is not angry; So it comes out like the best fragrance of musk. They pass him from one to another until they bring him to the gate of heaven, where they say: '; How good is this fragrance that has come to you from the Earth! Then the souls of the believers come to him and they rejoice more over him than any one of you rejoices when his absent loved one comes to him. They ask him: 'What happened to so-and-so, what happened to so-and-so?' They say: 'Let him be, for he was in the hardship of the world. When he says, 'Did he not come here?' They say: 'He was taken to the pit (of Hell).' Come out discontent, subject of Divine wrath, to the punishment of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime; So it comes out like the foulest stench of a corpse. They bring him to the gates of the Earth, where they say: 'How foul is this stench!' Then they bring him to the souls of the disbelievers." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1833)  

إِذَا حُضِرَ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَتَتْهُ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ بِحَرِيرَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَيَقُولُونَ اخْرُجِي رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيًّا عَنْكِ إِلَى رَوْحِ اللهِ وَرَيْحَانٍ وَرَبٍّ غَيْرِ غَضْبَانَ فَتَخْرُجُ كَأَطْيَبِ رِيحِ مِسْكٍ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيُنَاوِلُهُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى يَأْتُوا بِهِ بَابَ يَعْنِي السَّمَاءِ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَطْيَبَ هَذِهِ الرِّيحَ الَّتِي جَاءَتْكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَيَأْتُونَ بِهِ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَهُمْ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِغَائِبِهِ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَسْأَلُونَهُ مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي غَمِّ الدُّنْيَا فَإِذَا قَالَ أَمَا أَتَاكُمْ؟ قَالُوا ذُهِبَ بِهِ إِلَى أُمِّهِ الْهَاوِيَةِ وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حُضِرَ أَتَتْهُ مَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ بِمِسْحٍ فَيَقُولُونَ اخْرُجِي سَاخِطَةً مَسْخُوطًا عَلَيْكِ إِلَى عَذَابِ اللهِ فَتَخْرُجُ كَأَنْتَنِ رِيحِ جِيفَةٍ حَتَّى يَأْتُونَ بِهِ بَابَ الْأَرْضِ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَنْتَنَ هَذِهِ الرِّيحَ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا بِهِ أَرْوَاحَ الْكُفَّارِ  

He who loves meeting Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I (Shuraih b. Hani, one of the narrators) came to A'isha and said to her: Mother of the faithful, I heard Abu Huraira narrate from Messenger of Allah ﷺ which, if it is actually so, is a destruction to us. Thereupon she said: Those are in fact ruined who are ruined at the words of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. What are (the words which in your opinion would cause your destruction)? He said that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had stated: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah too loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah too abhors to meet him, and there is none amongst us who dons not hate death. Thereupon she said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ has in fact stated this, but it does not mean what you construe, but it implies (the time) when one loses the lustre of the eye, and there is rattling in the throat, shudder in the body and convulsion in fingers (at the time of death). (It is about this time) that it has been said: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah would love to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah would abhor to meet him (Using translation from Muslim 2685a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ» قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا إِنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكْنَا قَالَتْ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَتْ قَدْ قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ بِالَّذِي تَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا طَمَحَ الْبَصَرُ وَحَشْرَجَ الصَّدْرُ وَاقْشَعَرَّ الْجِلْدُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'If My slaves loves the meeting with Me, I too love the meeting with him; and if he dislikes the meeting with Me, I too dislike the meeting with him.' " (See Hadith No. 514, Vol. 8) (Using translation from Bukhārī 7504)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ إِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدِي لِقَائِي أَحْبَبْتُ لِقَاءَهُ وَإِذَا كَرِهَ عَبْدِي لِقَائِي كَرِهْتُ لِقَاءَهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6508)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6508)

“Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him.” It was said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, does hating to meet Allah mean hating to meet death? For all of us hate death.” He said: “No. Rather that is only at the moment of death. But if he is given the glad tidings of the mercy and forgiveness of Allah, he loves to meet Allah and Allah loves to meet him; and if he is given the tidings of the punishment of Allah, he hates to meet Allah and Allah hates to meet him.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4264)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ» زَادَ عَمْرٌو فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَرَاهِيَةُ لِقَاءِ اللهِ كَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ كُلُّنَا نَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ إِذَا بُشِّرَ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ وَمَغْفِرَتِهِ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ وَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ بِعَذَابِ اللهِ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ وَكَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ»  

that Abu Bakr kissed the Prophet between the eyes when he had died. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1839)

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ «قَبَّلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ»  

Abu Bakr came riding a horse from his home in As-Sunuh, then he dismounted and entered the Masjid. He did not speak to the people until he met 'Aishah and the Messenger of Allah was covered with a Hibrah Burd. He uncovered his face, bent over him and kissed him, and wept. Then he said: "May my father be ransomed for you. By Allah! Allah will never cause you to die twice; the death that was decreed for you, you have died." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1841)  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ مَسْكَنِهِ بِالسُّنْحِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَيَمَّمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مُسَجًّى بِبُرْدٍ حِبَرَةٍ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ «بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَاللهِ لَا يَجْمَعُ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ مَوْتَتَيْنِ أَبَدًا أَمَّا الْمَوْتَةُ الَّتِي كَتَبَهَا اللهُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ مُتَّهَا»  

"My father was brought on the day of Uhud and he had been mutilated. He was placed in front of the Messenger of Allah covered with a cloth. I wanted to uncover him but my people forbade m3e to do so. The Prophet ordered that he was lifted up, he heard the voice of a woman weeping. He said: 'Who is this?' They said: 'This is the daughter of 'Amr, or the sister of 'Amr.' He said: 'Do not weep, or 'She should not weep, for the angels kept on shading him with their wings until he was lifted up,"" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1842)  

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ جِيءَ بِأَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ فَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ سُجِّيَ بِثَوْبٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَكْشِفَ عَنْهُ فَنَهَانِي قَوْمِي فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرُفِعَ فَلَمَّا رُفِعَ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ بَاكِيَةٍ فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذِهِ؟» فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ بِنْتُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ «فَلَا تَبْكِي أَوْ فَلِمَ تَبْكِي؟ مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّى رُفِعَ»  

"When a young daughter of the Messenger of Allah was dying, the Messenger of Allah picked her up and held her to his chest, then he put his hand on her, and she died in front of the Messenger of Allah. Umm Ayman wept and the Messenger of Allah said 'Oh Umm Ayman, do you weep while the Messenger of Allah is with you?' She said: 'Why shouldn't I weep when the Messenger of Allah is weeping." So the Messenger of Allah said "Verily, I am not weeping. Rather it is compassion.' Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'The believer is fine whatever the situation; even when his soul is being pulled from his body and he praises Allah, the Mighty and Sublime"' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1843)   

حُضِرَتِ ابْنَةٌ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَغِيرَةٌ فَأَخَذَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَضَمَّهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا وَقُبِضَتْ وَهِيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَكَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ أَتَبْكِينَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَكَ؟» فَقَالَتْ مَا لِي لَا أَبْكِي وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَبْكِي وَلَكِنَّهَا رَحْمَةٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِخَيْرٍ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ تُنْزَعُ نَفْسُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَنْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَحْمَدُ اللهَ قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ كَانَ قَدِ اخْتَلَطَ وَأَثْبَتُ النَّاسِ فِيهِ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ  

"O my father, how close he is now to his Lord! O my father, we announce the news (of his death) to Jibril! O my father, Jannat Al-Firdawas is now his abode!" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1844)  

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بَكَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ مَاتَ فَقَالَتْ «يَا أَبَتَاهُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ أَنْعَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ»  

"I started to uncover his face, weeping. The people told me not to do that but the Messenger of Allah did not forbid me. My paternal aunt started to weep, and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Do not weep, for angels kept on shading him with their wings until you lifted him up."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1845)  

عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَأَبْكِي وَالنَّاسُ يَنْهَوْنِي وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَنْهَانِي وَجَعَلَتٍ عَمَّتِي تَبْكِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَبْكِيهِ مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّى رَفَعْتُمُوهُ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit who was ill. He found that he was dominated (by the divine decree). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him loudly, but he did not respond. He uttered the Qur'anic verse "We belong to Allah and to Him do we return" and he said: We have been dominated against you, AburRabi'. Then the women cried and wept, and Ibn Atik began to silence them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Leave them, when the divine decree is made, no woman should weep. They (the people) asked: What is necessary happening, Messenger of Allah? He replied: Death. His daughter said: I hope you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for jihad. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah Most High gave him a reward according to his intentions. What do you consider martyrdom? They said: Being killed in the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed in Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3111)  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ فَصَاحَ بِهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ» غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ فَصَحْنَ النِّسْوَةُ وَبَكَيْنَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسْكِتْهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِينَّ بَاكِيَةٌ» قَالُوا وَمَا الْوجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْمَوْتُ» قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا قَدْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ؟ قَالُوا الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرْقِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ»  

'When news of the death of Zaid bin Harithah, Ja'far bin Abi Talib and 'Abdullah bin Rawahah was announced, the Messenger of Allah sat down and it could be seen that he was grieving. I was looking through a crack in the door, and a man came and said: 'Ja'far's womenfolk are weeping.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Go and prevent them.' He went away, then he came back, and said: I told them not to do that, but they refused to stop; He said: Go and prevent them; He went away then he came back, and said: I told them not to do that, but they refused to stop. He said: 'Throw dust in their mouths.'" Aishah said: "I said: 'May Allah rub his nose in the dust, the one who is over there! You did not leave the Messenger of Allah alone but you were not going to do (what he told you to do)."" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1847)  

لَمَّا أَتَى نَعْيُ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ وَجَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْرَفُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْحُزْنُ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ مِنْ صِيرِ الْبَابِ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ نِسَاءَ جَعْفَرٍ يَبْكِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «انْطَلِقْ فَانْهَهُنَّ» فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُنَّ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَنْتَهِينَ قَالَ «فَانْطَلِقْ فَانْهَهُنَّ» فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُنَّ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَنْتَهِينَ فَقَالَ «انْطَلِقْ فَاحْثُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ التُّرَابَ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَرْغَمَ اللهُ أَنْفَ الْأَبْعَدِ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا تَرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ

عِمْرَانُ قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

"The deceased is punished due to the weeping of his family for him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1848)

"Do not wail over me, for no one wailed over the Messenger of Allah." This is an abridgment. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1851)   

«لَا تَنُوحُوا عَلَيَّ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَيْهِ»  

when the Messenger of Allah accepted the women's oath of allegiance, he accepted their pledge that they would not wail (over the death). They said: "O Messenger of Allah, there are women who helped us to mourn during the Jahiliyyah should we help them to mourn?" The Messenger of Allah said: "There is no helping to mourn in Islam." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1852)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ حِينَ بَايَعَهُنَّ أَنْ لَا يَنُحْنَ فَقُلْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ نِسَاءً أَسْعَدْنَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَفَنُسْعِدُهُنَّ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا إِسْعَادَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ»

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهِ بِالنِّيَاحَةِ عَلَيْهِ»  

"The deceased is punished due to his family's wailing for him." A man said to him: "A man died in Khurasan and his family wailed for him here; will he be punished due to his family's wailing?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah spoke the truth and you are a liar." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1854)   

لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا مَاتَ بِخُرَاسَانَ وَنَاحَ أَهْلُهُ عَلَيْهِ هَاهُنَا أَكَانَ يُعَذَّبُ بِنِيَاحَةِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ «صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَذَبْتَ أَنْتَ»  

'The deceased is punished due to his family's weeping over him; Mention of that was made to 'Aishah and she said: 'He is wrong; rather the Prophet passed by a grave and said: The occupant of this grave is being punished and his family are weeping for him." Then she recited: And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1855)  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ وَهَلْ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ لَيُعَذَّبُ وَإِنَّ أَهْلَهُ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ {وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى} [الأنعام 164]  

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. (Using translation from Muslim 932c)  

عَائِشَةُ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ وَلَكِنَّهُ نَسِيَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ»

"I heard Ibn Abi Mulaikah say: 'When Umm Aban died, I attended with the people. I sat in front of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas, and the women wept. Ibn 'Umar said: 'Why don't you tell them not to weep? For I heard the Messenger of Allah say: The deceased is punished due to some of his family's weeping for him."' Ibn 'Abbas said: "Umar used to narrate something like that. I went out with 'Umar and when we got to on uninhabited area, he saw a caravan beneath a tree. He said: 'See whose caravan this is.' I went and I found Suhaib and his family. I came back to him and said: 'O Commander of the Believers! This is Suhaib and his family.' He said: 'Bring Suhaib to me.' When we entered Al-Madinah, 'Umar was attacked and Suhaib sat by him, weeping and saying, 'O my brother, O my brother.' 'Umar said: 'O Suhaib, do not weep, for I heard the Messenger of Allah say: The deceased is punished due to some of the weeping of his family for him. He said: I mentioned that to 'Aishah and she said: 'By Allah you are not narrating this Hadith from two liars who have disbelieved, but sometimes you mishear. And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden. And the Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah increases the punishment of the disbeliever because of his family's weeping for him."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1858)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ رَأَى رَكْبًا تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ انْظُرْ مَنِ الرَّكْبُ فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا صُهَيْبٌ وَأَهْلُهُ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَذَا صُهَيْبٌ وَأَهْلُهُ فَقَالَ عَلَيَّ بِصُهَيْبٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ أُصِيبَ عُمَرُ فَجَلَسَ صُهَيْبٌ يَبْكِي عِنْدَهُ وَيَقُولُ وَا أُخَيَاهُ وَا أُخَيَاهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا صُهَيْبُ لَا تَبْكِ عَلَيَّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبَعْضِ بُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا تُحَدِّثُونِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ كَاذِبِينَ وَلَا مُكَذَّبِينَ وَلَكِنَّ السَّمْعَ يُخْطِئُ وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ لَمَا يَشْفِيكُمِ {أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى} [النجم 38] وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ لَيَزِيدُ الْكَافِرَ عَذَابًا بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ»  

"I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'Someone from the family of the Messenger of Allah died, and the women gathered, weeping for him. 'Umar stood up and told them not to do that, and threw them out, but the Messenger of Allah said: Let them be there, O 'Umar, for the eye weeps and the heart grieves, but soon we will join them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1859)  

مَاتَ مَيِّتٌ مِنْ آلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاجْتَمَعَ النِّسَاءُ يَبْكِينَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ يَنْهَاهُنَّ وَيَطْرُدُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُنَّ يَا عُمَرُ فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ دَامِعَةٌ وَالْفُؤَادَ مُصَابٌ وَالْعَهْدَ قَرِيبٌ»

أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكُمْ كَمَا بَرِئَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ حَلَقَ وَلَا خَرَقَ وَلَا سَلَقَ»
