Sahih Muslim Hadith 2150

The daughter of 'Uthman bin 'Affan رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ died in Mecca. We came to attend her (funeral). Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ were also present there, and I was sitting between them. He added: I (first sat) by the side of one of them, then the other one came and he sat by my side. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said to 'Amr bin 'Uthman who was sitting opposite to him: Will you not prevent the people from lamenting, for the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had said: The dead is punished because of the lamenting of his family for him ? Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ then said that Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ used to say someting of that nature, and then narrated saying: I proceeded from Mecca along with 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ till we reached al-Baida' and there was a party of riders under the shade of a tree. He said (to me): Go and find out who this party is. I cast a glance and there was Suhaib رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ (in that party). So I informed him ('Umar) about it. He said: Call him to me. So I went back to Suhaib and said: Go and meet the Commander of the believers. When 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ was wounded, Suhaib came walling: Alas, for the brother! alas for the companion! 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: O Suhaib, do you wail for me, whereas the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: The dead would be punished on account of the lamentation of the (members of his family) ? Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: When 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ died I made a mention of it to 'A'isha رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا . She said: May Allah have mercy upon 'Umar! I swear by Allah that Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) never said that Allah would punish the believer because of the weeping (of any one of the members of his family), but he said that Allah would increase the punishment of the unbeliever because of the weeping of his family over him. 'A'isha رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا said: The Qur'an is enough for you (when it states): No bearer of burden will bear another's burden (vi. 164). Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: Allah is He Who has caused laughter and weeping. Ibn Abu Mulaika said: By Allah, Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said nothing.
