Hadith 1054

1054 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ مَنْ سَمِعَ، أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ صَوْتَ بَاكِيَةٍ، فَنَهَاهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «دَعْهَا يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ، فَإِنَّ الْعَهْدَ قَرِيبٌ، وَالْعَيْنَ بَاكِيَةٌ، وَالنَّفْسَ مُصَابَةٌ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the sound of a woman weeping, so he forbade her. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Abu Hafs! Leave her, for the time of calamity is near, the eye is weeping and the soul is in pain."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
It is established from this hadith that merely weeping over the deceased is not a sin, and it is also proven that women have tender hearts. If they are only weeping and not wailing, then they should not be prevented. However, if they engage in screaming, wailing, or commit prohibited acts, then they should be stopped.

1860. Commentary: Benefit: The chain of transmission (isnad) of the aforementioned narration is weak, but the issue mentioned in the hadith is correct based on other authentic evidences: that the crying which naturally occurs due to shock is permissible; it does not fall under the category of the prohibited type of crying. Allamah Atiyyubi, while explaining the aforementioned hadith, has mentioned its supporting evidences and has conducted a very fine discussion. For details, see: (Dhakheerat al-‘Uqba Sharh Sunan an-Nasa’i: 18/314–320)
