Those who permitted a woman to be with the funeral and saw no harm in crying out

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was attending a funeral. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a woman and shouted at her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Umar: "Leave her, O Umar, for the eye is tearful, the soul is stricken with grief, and the loss is recent."

Jabbar al-Ta'i said: I attended the funeral of the mother of Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr, and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was there, riding a she-donkey of his. He passed by and came alongside Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). The narrator said: They heard the voices of women shrieking and wailing, so I said to Ibn Abbas: "O Abu al-Abbas, this is being done here and you are still present here?" He said: "O Jabbar, keep yourself away from us (we are not answerable for it); indeed it is Allah Almighty who causes laughter, and it is Allah who causes weeping."

Al-Hasan went out with a funeral, and there were sounds of shrieking in it. Thabit turned back, so al-Hasan said to him: "Are you abandoning a truth because of a falsehood?" The narrator said: (Hearing this,) he went on with the funeral.

Khalid bin Abi Bakr said: I saw Salim and al-Qasim walking in front of the funeral, and the women behind the funeral.
