حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَرَامَةَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ ، وَالْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَعَنَ الْخَامِشَةَ وَجْهَهَا ، وَالشَّاقَّةَ جَيْبَهَا ، وَالدَّاعِيَةَ بِالْوَيْلِ وَالثُّبُورِ " .
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed the woman who scratches her face and rends her garment and cries that she is doomed (i.e. because of the death of this person).
