Statement about women's pledge and prohibition of wailing
Hadith 267
أَخْبَرَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ، نا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: ((أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْبَيْعَةِ أَنْ لَا تَنُحْنَ فَمَا وَفَتْ مِنَّا غَيْرَ خَمْسٍ مِنْهُنَّ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ)).
Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took a pledge from us, and in it was that we would not wail (over the dead). Only five of us fulfilled it, and Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) was among them.
