عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا نَعُدُّ الْاجْتِمَاعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْمَيِّتِ وَصَنِيعَةِ الطَّعَامِ بَعْدَ دَفْنِهِ مِنَ النِّيَاحَةِ
Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah Bajali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: After the burial, we used to consider the gathering of people at the house of the deceased’s relatives and the preparation of food as a form of lamentation (mourning).
