Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39745 — What I have preserved

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the news of the death of Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we saw (the signs of) grief on the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then a man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the women are weeping." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back to them and silence them, and if they refuse, throw dust on their faces." The narrator said: Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said to myself: "By Allah, you neither leave yourself alone nor carry out the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
