Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Bakr passed away, people began weeping over him. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and said: "I offer you an excuse on behalf of these people, for they are close to the time of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah). I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Hot water is sprinkled on the deceased because of the weeping of the living.'"
Al-Bazzar and Abu Ya'la recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Zubalah, and he is da'if (weak).
