It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: When Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, I said: He was a stranger and died in a foreign land, so I began to weep. A woman came from the upper parts (of Madinah), intending to help me (in lamenting), but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you want to bring the devil back into a house from which Allah Almighty has expelled him? Upon hearing this, I did not weep.
