Chapter: The prohibition of striking one's checks, tearing one's garment and calling with the calls of Jahilliyyah

It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) observed: He is not one of us (one among the Ummah of Islam) who beat the cheeks or tore the front opening of the shirt or uttered the slogans of (the days of) Jahiliya (ignorance). Ibn Numair and Abu Bakr (RA) said (instead of the word" au" (or) it is" wa" [and] the words are) and tore and uttered (the slogans) of Jahiliya without" alif".

This hadith has been narrated by A'mash with the same chain of narrators and the transmitters said: He tore and called.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Burda bin Abu Musa that Abu Musa was afflicted with grave pain and he became unconscious and his head was in the lap of a lady of his household. One of the women of his household walled. He (Abu Musa) was unable (because of weakness) to say anything to her. But when he was a bit recovered he said: I have no concern with one with whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has no concern, Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has no concern with that woman who wails loudly, shaves her hair and tears (her garment in grief).

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Burda that Abu Musa fell unconscious and his wife Umm 'Abdullah came there and wailed loudly. When he felt relief he said: Don't you know? -and narrated to her: Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I have no concern with one who shaved her hair, lamented loudly and tore (her clothes in grief).
