Statement about women's pledge and prohibition of wailing
Hadith 265
أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، نا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: " فِيمَا أُخِذَ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْبَيْعَةِ أَنْ لَا نَنُوحَ فَمَا وَفَتْ مِنَّا امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرَ خَمْسٍ، مِنْهُنَّ: أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، وَامْرَأَةِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ أَوِ امْرَأَةِ مُعَاذِ , وَابْنَةِ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ، وَامْرَأَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَكَانَتْ لَا تَعُدُّ نَفْسَهَا لِأَنَّهَا لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْحَرَّةِ لَمْ تَزَلِ النِّسَاءُ بِهَا حَتَّى قَامَتْ، فَكَانَتْ لَا تَعُدُّ نَفْسَهَا لِذَلِكَ ".
Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Among the things we were pledged upon was that we would not wail (over the dead). Only five women among us fulfilled this: Umm Sulaym, the wife of Mu‘adh bin Abi Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him), or the wife of Mu‘adh (may Allah be pleased with him), the daughter of Abu Sabrah, and another woman. And she was not prepared for it until the day of Harrah, when the women participated in it until she stood up; they would not prepare themselves for it.
