كتاب الجنائزThe Book of Al-Janaiz (Funerals)
بَابُ مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ النِّيَاحَةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ:Chapter. What (sort of) wailing over a deceased is disliked.
Hadith 1291
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : دَعْهُنَّ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ نَقْعٌ أَوْ لَقْلَقَةٌ وَالنَّقْعُ التُّرَابُ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ وَاللَّقْلَقَةُ الصَّوْتُ .
And ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Let the women weep for Abu Sulaiman (Khalid bin Walid) as long as they do not throw dust (on their heads) and do not wail.” «نقع» refers to throwing dust on the head, and «قلقة» refers to wailing.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَيَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا ، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ، سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ " .
Narrated Al-Mughira: I heard the Prophet saying, "Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a lie against me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire." I heard the Prophet saying, "The deceased who is wailed over is tortured for that wailing."

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Whatever is attributed to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) becomes part of the religion and Shariah. However, the statement of anyone else does not become religion or Shariah. Therefore, attributing something to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is not so light and easy as it is to attribute something to someone else. There is not as much danger and fear in attributing a statement to someone else as there can be—and indeed should be—when attributing something to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

In these narrations, the punishment for fabricating lies against the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is mentioned, and in reality, lying against the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is worse than all other lies in the world.
