حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْمُهَلَّبِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ " . فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ وَلَكِنَّهُ وَهِمَ ، إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِرَجُلٍ مَاتَ يَهُودِيًّا : " إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ وَإِنَّ أَهْلَهُ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهِ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَقَرَظَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ إِلَى هَذَا وَتَأَوَّلُوا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَلا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى سورة الأنعام آية 164 ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ : الشَّافِعِيِّ .
´Yahya bin Abdur-Rahman narrated from Ibn Umar that:` The Prophet said: "The deceased is punished for the crying of his family over him." So, Aishah said: "May Allah have mercy upon him. He has not lied, but he is mistaken. It is only that the Messenger of Allah said about a Jewish man who died: 'The deceased is being punished and his family is crying over him.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Whether the deceased is a disbeliever or, hypothetically, even a Muslim, if he has made a bequest for wailing (noha) to be performed or is pleased with this act, then he will be punished due to his family members wailing over him.
In this case, his being punished
is not contrary to the aforementioned verse.
However, if he was averse to this act and had forbidden it,
and then those who remain after him commit this un-Islamic act,
then he will be free from it.
Therefore, believers should strictly instruct their heirs to refrain from wailing or lamentation.
Hazrat Aisha (radi Allahu anha) considered this hadith to be contrary to this verse.
That is why she interpreted it as mentioned above, whereas in reality, according to the aforementioned meaning, there is no contradiction between this hadith and the verse.
Therefore, this hadith is also authentic in the manner
in which Hazrat Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) has narrated it.
