Hadith 933
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّائِيِّ ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، قَالَ : أَوَّلُ مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْكُوفَةِ قَرَظَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ ، فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُعَذَّبُ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
'Ali bin Rabi'a reported that the first one who was lamented upon in Kufa was Qaraza bin Ka'b. Mughira bin Shu'bah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: He who is lamented upon would be punished because of the lamentation for him on the Day of Judgment.

To loudly wail over the deceased by enumerating his virtues and excellences is called "niyahah" (wailing).

This punishment will be for the person who either instructed his heirs to do so,
or whose own practice in life was such, and his family members are wailing over him in imitation of his example.
