باب الْبُكَاءِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ:Chapter: Crying for the deceased
وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَإسحاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كُلُّهُمْ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ : لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، قُلْتُ : غَرِيبٌ وَفِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَةٍ ، لَأَبْكِيَنَّهُ بُكَاءً يُتَحَدَّثُ عَنْهُ ، فَكُنْتُ قَدْ تَهَيَّأْتُ لِلْبُكَاءِ عَلَيْهِ ، إِذْ أَقَبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الصَّعِيدِ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُسْعِدَنِي ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَالَ : " أَتُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تُدْخِلِي الشَّيْطَانَ بَيْتًا أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ " فَكَفَفْتُ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ ، فَلَمْ أَبْكِ .
Umm Salamah reported: When Abu Salama died I said: I am a stranger in a strange land; I shall weep for him in a manner that would be talked of. I made preparation for weeping for him when a woman from the upper side of the city came there who intended to help me (in weeping). She happened to come across the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: Do you intend to bring the devil into a house from which Allah has twice driven him out? I (Umm Salamah), therefore, refrained from weeping and I did not weep.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: By this weeping is meant wailing (niyahah), in which there is loud crying and shouting, beating of the chest, striking of the head and cheeks, throwing dust on the head, and tearing of the collar.
