Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge of allegiance from the women, he also took a pledge from them that they would not wail. They said: O Messenger of Allah, in the Days of Ignorance women used to join (us) in these calamities; should we join them in Islam? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no such joining (in wailing) in Islam."
