It was narrated from Anas that: when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) accepted the women's oath of allegiance, he accepted their pledge that they would not wail (over the death). They said: "O Messenger of Allah, there are women who helped us to mourn during the Jahiliyyah should we help them to mourn?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no helping to mourn in Islam."

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said; "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The deceased is punished due to his family's weeping over him; Mention of that was made to 'Aishah and she said: 'He is wrong; rather the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a grave and said: The occupant of this grave is being punished and his family are weeping for him." Then she recited: And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden.

It was narrated from 'Amrah that she heard 'Aishah say: , when she was told that Ibn 'Umar said that the deceased is punished due to the weeping of the living for him, 'Aishah said: "May Allah forgive Abu 'Abdur-Rahman; he is not lying, but he has forgotten or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by a (deceased) Jewish woman for whom people were weeping and he said: 'They are weeping for her and she is being punished."'

'Abbul-Jabbar bin Al-Ward narrated: "I heard Ibn Abi Mulaikah say: 'When Umm Aban died, I attended with the people. I sat in front of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas, and the women wept. Ibn 'Umar said: 'Why don't you tell them not to weep? For I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: The deceased is punished due to some of his family's weeping for him."' Ibn 'Abbas said: "Umar used to narrate something like that. I went out with 'Umar and when we got to on uninhabited area, he saw a caravan beneath a tree. He said: 'See whose caravan this is.' I went and I found Suhaib and his family. I came back to him and said: 'O Commander of the Believers! This is Suhaib and his family.' He said: 'Bring Suhaib to me.' When we entered Al-Madinah, 'Umar was attacked and Suhaib sat by him, weeping and saying, 'O my brother, O my brother.' 'Umar said: 'O Suhaib, do not weep, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: The deceased is punished due to some of the weeping of his family for him. He said: I mentioned that to 'Aishah and she said: 'By Allah you are not narrating this Hadith from two liars who have disbelieved, but sometimes you mishear. And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah increases the punishment of the disbeliever because of his family's weeping for him."'

It was narrated that Safwan bin Muhriz said: "Abu Musa fell unconscious and they wept for him. He said: 'I say to you the words of disavowal that the messenger of Allah said: He is not one of us who shaves his head (as a sign of mourning), rends his garments, or raises his voice in Lamentation."'

It was narrated from Abu Sakhrah, that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid and Abu Burdah said: "When Abu Musa was close to death, his wife started to scream." They said: "He woke up and said: 'Did I not tell you that I am free from what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is free?" They said: "He used to narrate that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'I am free from the one who shaves his head, rends his garments or raises his voice in lamentation."'

Abu lyas Mu'awiyah bin 'Qurrah narrated from his father that: a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) accompanied by a son of his. He said to him: "Do you love him?" He said: "May Allah love you as I love him." Then he (the son) died and he noticed his absence and asked about him. He said: "Will it not make you happy to know that you will not come to any of the gates of Paradise but you will find him there, trying to open it for you?"

It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever seeks reward for (the loss of) three of his own children, he will enter Paradise." A woman stood up and said: "Or two?" He said: "Or two." The woman said: "I wish that I had said, 'or one."'

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No Muslim, three of whose children die, will be touched by the Fire, except in fulfillment of the (Divine) oath."

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with a son of hers who was ill and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I fear for him, and I have already lost three.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "You have a great protection against the Hellfire."

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Sirin that Umm 'Atiyyah Al-Ansariyyah said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon us when his daughter died, and said: 'Wash her three times or five, or more if you think (that is needed), with water and lote leaves, and put some camphor in it the last time, and when you have finished call me.' When we finished we called him and he gave us his waist-wrap, and said: 'Shroud her in it."'

It was narrated from Umm 'Atiyyah that: the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said concerning the washing of his daughter: "Start on the right and the parts that were washed in wudu."'

It was narrated that Umm 'Atiyyah said: "One of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) died, and he sent word to us saying: 'Wash her with water and lotus leaves, and wash her an odd number of times, three, or five, or seven if you think (that is needed), and put some camphor in it the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.' When we finished, we finished, we informed him, and he threw his informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: 'Shroud her in it.' And we combed her hair and put it in three braids, and put it behind her."

It was narrated that Umm 'Atiyyah said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon us when we were washing his daughter and said: 'Wash her three times or five, or more if you think (that is necessary), with water and lotus leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor in it the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.' When we finished, we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: 'Shroud her in it."'

And when you have finished, inform me.' When we finished, we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us, and said: Shroud her in it."

Something similar was narrated from Umm 'Atiyyah except, that he (the narrator) said: "Three times or five, or seven, or more than that, if you think that (is necessary)."

It was narrated that Umm 'Atiyyah said: "A daughter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) died and he told us to wash her. He said: 'Three times, or five or seven, or more than that, if you think that (is necessary).' I said: 'An odd number?' He said: 'Yes, and put camphor, or some camphor, in (the water) the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.' So when you have finished, we informed him, and then gave us his waist-wrap and said: 'Shroud her in it."

He said: 'Wash her three times, or five, or more than that if you think that (is necessary), with water and lotus leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor in (the water) the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.' When we finished, we informed him and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: 'Shroud her in it."'

And when you have finished, inform me." So when we finished we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: "Shroud her in it." And he did not add to that. He (the narrator) said: "I do not know which of his daughters that was." I said: "What did he mean by: 'Shroud her in it?' Did he mean to put it on like an Izar?" He said: "No, I think he meant to wrap her completely."
