وحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ ، وَذُكِرَ لَهَا أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَيِّ " ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ نَسِيَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ ، إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا ، وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا " .
'Amra daughter of 'Abd al Rahman narrated that she heard (from) 'A'isha and made a mention to her about 'Abdullah bin 'Umar as saying: The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living. Upon this 'A'isha said: May Allah have mercy upon the father of 'Abdul Rahman (Ibn 'Umar). He did not tell a lie, but he forgot or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) happened to pass by a (dead) Jewess who was being lamented. Upon this he said: They weep over her and she is being punished in the grave.
