حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عِيسَى ، عَنْ
جَبْرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ ، عَنْ
عَمِّهِ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَأَهْلُهُ يَبْكُونَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَتَبْكُونَ وَهَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" دَعْهُنَّ يَبْكِينَ مَا دَامَ عِنْدَهُنَّ ، فَإِذَا وَجَبَتْ فَلَا يَبْكِينَ " ، فَقَالَ جَبْرٌ : فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : مَاذَا وَجَب ؟ قلَت : إِذَا أُدْخِلَ قَبْرَهُ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I went with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to attend the funeral of an Ansari. His family was weeping over him. I said to them, "Are you weeping in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Let them be. As long as he is with them, they will weep over him, and when he is buried in the grave, then they will not weep."
